All MSHA-reportable accidents at Oak Grove Resources LLC operations in 2019. Fatalities appear first.
IE was assisting in taking a bad piece of cable out of the slope hoist cable. They were picking the cable up to move the cable over. As the IE raised up from picking cable up, IE felt a pain in the lower to middle back. IE did not go to the Dr until 3/16/19 & Dr could only find a possible strained muscle in IE's back. IE started missing on 3/18/19.
IE was carrying old belt structure out of the slope drive house to get rid of it from where they had stacked it on the surface after changing it out for new structure in the slope. EE and another employee lifted the structure & ee felt pain in lower back & left buttock. All that they could find wrong at the Dr. was possibly a pulled muscle.
IE was throwing roof bolter cable over against the rib so it would be out of the way for haulage an the MN 5 section. As IE stepped forward IE felt a pain in the left knee.
