A miner noticed a hydraulic fitting on the jumbo boom leaking. He grounded both booms and climbed on a front cover to tighten the fitting. The cover slid off when he stood on it, causing the miner to fall on his back on the cover. This resulted in a hairline fracture to the right shoulder blade. Miner is on restricted duty.
A truck driver stepped out of his haul truck to take a sample at the scale. When stepping to the ground he twisted his right ankle spraining it and causing a hairline fracture to ankle bone.
