HANDLING OF MATERIALS at Graymont (PA) Inc.
Our loader was at the Carbis rack at the mine's surface location attempting to open the lid on a pneumatic tank trailer. When they pulled on our latch, they struggled with getting the latch to move. They pulled too hard causing a strain to their groin area. This caused a hernia to their groin area. They will need to have surgery.
