Employee went down ladder to adjust feeder opening. After doing so, he then was using a scraper approximately 4" in length to remove build up on the sides of chute. In doing so, the material flowing from feeder grabbed the scraper pinning his thumb between the hand rail and the scraper, with enough force to cause the laceration to his thumb.
Pit was dry and maintained. Miner stated that he was bent over looking into his lunchbox and not paying attention where he was going and veered off the road into the pit. Truck dropped approximately 5ft. coming to rest on its left side, damaging the walkway, handrails. and door.
