FALL OF FACE/RIB/PILLAR/SIDE/HIGHWALL
Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. · Struck by falling object
The miner had previously inspected and barred down the heading before drilling. An unseen rock fell from the rib onto the bench and slid down striking the driller in the back. The driller then walked to a nearby worker and they determined that he should go to the clinic for further examination.
