EE was walking behind the Launch Vehicle and around the stacker belt. When he stepped up onto the berm, to get around the stacker, he lost his footing. This resulted in him falling down the spoil slope and tumbling approximately 40 feet until he came to a stop on a stump and some logs at the bottom. EE received abrasions and contusions on his upper torso.
EE was holding up the stacker cable to allow the loader to clean underneath. When the loader backed out, the material caught the cable and gave him a quick jerk. He did not leave work or seek medical attention. He worked until 12:00 pm on 1-3-07 and at that time, requested medical attention. He returned to work the next day 1-4-07 on restricted duty.
Injured employee was reaching down to pull up the car pin, when the loader pushed the car and smashed the tip of his right thumb between the pin handle and the inby car. He was transported to the Hospital, where they cleaned and stitched the open wound.
Employee was welding on the track loader bucket when a spark from welding came in behind his welding shield and glasses, striking him in the left eye. The metal was removed from employees' eye at the hospital with a magnet and he returned to work. He was given prescription antibiotic eye drops.
