March 1, 2022 CA · Metal/Non-Metal miner, nec HANDLING OF MATERIALS
Eagle's Nest Mining LLC · Struck against stationary object

The miner was hanging a 1.75" flexible conduit over a peg when the rubber housing stuck at the top of the peg and did not fall into the back of the peg. Using right fist with the thumb pointed at themselves, the miner attempted to set the cable when a perfect razor-sharp tooth of rock went through gloves into the side of hand where the palm meets the pinky finger.
