Narrative

While bolting the back, loose material fell causing the miner to move backwards. This caused miner's machine to fall toward miner, knocking backward. As miner fell backward, left hand came into contact with the post of the bolt deck which resulted in a hematoma on the hand. The miner was placed on restricted duty by the provider.
