Mine No 5Coal

The employee was servicing the No. 8 belt drive, he stepped on a piece of coal which caused him to make an off balance step resulting in severe pain to the left knee.

Small pieces of coal popped off the rib striking EE in the right eye causing scratching and bruising.

EE had installed a 54"" steel channel on the 1st bolt in the row he was installing. Once the bolt was installed the steel channel was not properly positioned, he grabbed the steel channel w/R hand to pull the channel toward him, his R ring finger became lodged between channel and roof resulting in traumatic damage to the end of ring finger. EE said machine was no part of injury.

EE was driving a shuttle car transporting coal from the cont. miner to the section dumping point. He ran over a bump or ran into a hole in the roadway which caused him to be bounced into the car's canopy causing pain in the back.

Employee was installing roof bolts in the face of the No. 2 entry. After adding the finishing piece of steel in place he placed his hand on the drill steel until it was fully inserted back into the hole, at which time the piece of rock measuring 15-16 in. wide, 78 in. long & 2-2 1/2 in. thick fell next to the steel striking him in the area of the 4th-5th fingers of the left hand.

Employee was holding a section of drill steel in the hole while he was swinging the drill head back and forth to clear loose coal from underneath the drill head. The drill head was moved too close to his wrist inadvertently causing the canopy to strike his wrist causing the bruising.

EE was located in a intersection off the left inby corner observing the timber line while retreat mining was being performed. A section of rock and coal rolled off the corner measuring 24""H x 8""W x 8""T, striking ee in the lower back. The ribs were soft due to the retract mining.

EE was operating the operator side of the roof bolt machine installing the 1st roof bolt in the last row of roof bolts in the cross cut between entry No's. 5 and 6, when the inby corner rolled off, striking him on the back in the area of his shoulders. Resulted in abrasions and bruising and a small laceration to the chin. Only first aid treatment was received.
