All MSHA-reportable accidents at Salt River Sand & Rock operations in 2016. Fatalities appear first.
6/6/2016 Miner pinched right middle finger between a clamp rail and angle iron while changing screens when EE laid the rail onto the screen box to use later. Miner refused medical treatment and it was reported as a first aid only that day. On 6/8/2016 miner went to the hospital to have fingers looked at and it was reported by the hospital as broken.
Working on the toggle plate at the jaw crusher, miner was using a pry-bar to break the toggle plate loose. As the plate came loose it caused the pry-bar to shift compressing the miners hand against the wall of the crusher. Miner believed EE was ok at that time. Six days later the miner went to doctors office and had it looked at. An X-ray was taken and discovered a broken bone.
The miner was trying to remove a return roller bracket, as EE was trying to loosen the bolt, the 3/4"" deep socket slipped off the nut and hit EE in the forehead above EE's right eye resulting in a cut that required stitches.
