Mine #3Coal

Employee had pulled roof bolter up in #9 entry on 001-1 section to prepare to start bolting place and was bending bolts to be installed first when hand slipped off roof bolt hitting hand on ground and roof bolter.

Had a bit break off in end of coal drill auger, myself and IE were beating old bit with hammer. Piece of bit broke off hitting IE in the eye, we both were wearing safety glasses but the piece that hit EE busted EE's glasses.

EE stated EE had a leak on one of the bucket jacks, raised head up over top of scoop while scoop still moving to see if EE could see the leak and caught head between scoop and mine roof.

EE was loading coal out of face of #3 heading. When small piece of rock fell hitting EE on knee, EE never told. Worked rest of shift, then went to E.R. that night. Said bruised knee cap, nothing broke.

Victim was injured when a scoop rolled forward resulting in victims left leg receiving trauma and fractured fibula, prior to being pulled from under the scoop.

Cutting machine was cutting #1 entry when water started coming in. We evacuated the men & made provisions to pump water. After the water had cleared, it was determined we had cut into a cone hole drilled from above.

Scoop operator was dumping coal onto section tailpiece. He accidentally knocked the guard off of the tailpiece roller & caused the section belt to gob off. He helped the tailpiece man clean it up. According to the tailpiece man, after cleaning, the belt was turned on before the guard was put back on. Emp. tripped & put hand in roller.
