Triumph MineCoal

EE was cutting a yellow hanger in order to free up a pump when his hand slipped and he cut himself.

EE said he stepped on a rock and twisted his knee.

EE said (the next day, after working the whole shift without any mention of the event) he hit his head on the mine roof. *Please note that this alleged accident is still under investigation.

EE states that while rock dusting with a 2"" hose, he turned and felt a sting in his lower back.

Freeze/thaw and heavy rainfall caused surface rock to fall on and just inby canopy on #1 portal (intake) entry. Ventilation is affected.

The employment was helping to remove ventilation tubing (galvanized, corrugated pipe) when a section of the tubing spun around cutting through his glove and into the area between his thumb and forefinger of his left hand, requiring 6 stitches.
