Accident type, without injuries
I called MSHA as soon as I found out there was a fire that lasted for more than 30 min. MSHA did send a rep out to survey the incident. I just found out that I had to report this on a 7000-1.

Fall to the walkway or working surface
One of the Quality Control personnel while walking back into the Quality Control office tripped and fell on his right knee. I took him to the doctor and he was x-rayed. He was told to follow up with another doctor so we set up an appointment with concentra and we are waiting for his cat scan results to come back in. He is off work per the doctor.
Struck against a moving object
I did not know that this was not filed until I checked on it 5/30/13. The miner was driving a haul truck over a rut causing the seat to raise up and the force caused the nut holding the seat belt in place to come loose. She immediately stopped, got help and fixed the seat belt. Then told us her shoulder was hurt.
Contact with heat
Worker started complaining of left arm numbness. He followed a manager up to the main office where his condition worsened to nausea, sweating, more numbness, so he was taken to the nearest hospital.
