Miner was shoveling under the portable plant screen due to a belt overload. The area under there has a low ceiling and is awkward. When miner was bent over shoveling, they heard/felt a pop in their back. Right hand side on the belt line.
Miner was picking up a piece of 4x4 from the ground. EE picked it up underneath with left hand, not centering the weight, and caused a bicep tendon rupture to the left arm.
The loader steering, shifting & direction is controlled by the left hand operating a joystick. The miner claims the repetitive motion of manipulating the joystick has affected his left thumb.
EE was cutting a belt with a utility knife. As EE was returning the knife for a second pass, the knife struck the edge of the belt, and his hand slid down the blade lacerating his middle finger. The laceration required sutures.
EE WAS TORCHING BOLTS FROM SCALPING SCREEN, HE REMOVED HIS PPE TO RETRIEVE STRIKER FROM HIS POCKET TO LIGHT THE TORCH AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE HOT TORCH RESULTING IN 2ND DEGREE BURNS.
