PAW PAW 2 SOUTH Coal

An employee was preparing to turn to move the continuous miner when they noticed a pain in their left knee that ultimately was discovered to be a torn meniscus.

The employee was walking through a crosscut. EE kneeled down when a piece of rib rolled off striking EE on EE's lower left leg. This resulted in a broken left tibia and fibula just above the left ankle.

A shuttle car operator drove in to the corner of a rib while tramming from the miner to the feeder. The operator's right shoulder was caught between the frame of the shuttle car and the rib causing a cut.

The employee attempted to pull a piece of ventilation curtain out of the way. As employee pulled, employee felt a strain in right shoulder.

A roof bolter's right uniform sleeve was caught by a roof bolt plate as EE was installing a roof bolt in the #8 heading. Both forearm bones were broken and EE received a cut to the right ear that required stitches.
