He tried to balance himself on the platform and fell hard on his feet when the platform slipped. He suffered a jarring injury to his left knee. The mechanic has knee problem history prior to coming to the company.

The lifting ring broke causing the chain and ring to hit the miner in the right wrist and forearm causing a 1 inch laceration approx 1/4"" deep and blunt force trauma resulting in contusions and a slight abruption to the forearm.

Miner struck finger on 2 x 8 board.

Miner was using torch and pushed a bucket back with his leg. When he started the torch, his pants leg ignited from gasoline. A miner left an unmarked, unapproved container of gasoline in the area and the miner doing the cutting failed to do a work area inspection before he began his work.
