All MSHA-reportable accidents at Joe Bernert Towing Company Inc operations in 2006. Fatalities appear first.
Worker said that he slipped while trying to grease the crusher at the end of the day, his left knee hit the crusher. This worker called in on Thursday 10/26/06, to say that he could not get out of bed because he had twisted his left knee. So he missed Friday the 27th of Oct. 2006. We beleive that this is a non employment injury. We did however fill out workers comp form 801.
