The miner was performing routine housekeeping maintenance for a conveyor belt located inside a sloped steel tunnel. The miner lifted a piece of floor grating, tilting it to the side against tunnel wall and then shoveled material that was being accumulated underneath. The miner turned around briefly when the unsecured grating slid and impacted EE's left hand/wrist.
