The lead miner was bolting the face heading. The engineer and miner had both scaled the heading prior to the event. While bolting, a rock slid from the rib cutting through the miners boot. The injury broke EE's second to smallest toe and EE had a laceration on the foot. The shift supervisor investigated the heading and found that the rock became dislodged during bolting.
