Caught in, under or between two or more moving objects
Miner was attempting to tighten the packing on a GIW slurry pump when the Channel lock pliers miner was using came in contact with the rotating shaft causing the Channel lock pliers to snap up and pinching miner's right thumb and ripping/bursting the skin open. Miner received 10 stitches at the emergency room.
Fall onto or against objects
The miner was starting up the dredge and while doing so was on EE's phone and did not observe that the water nozzle was coming around to the right too far. The water struck the side door of the dredge and the miner knocking EE down and causing EE to strike the side EE's head on the microwave oven. This caused a laceration to EE's scalp of 6 inches.
