Employee was drilling an entry round to a stope from inside the #4 Raise-South Side. While drilling, a 3" x 12" x 5' piece of lagen fell from a higher point of the raise and struck him on top of the left foot. The result of the impact was two broken bones on the metatarsal part of the left foot.
The employee was loading a face round. Some clay type of material fell from the back, knocked his hard hat off and struck his head. The loose material fell because there was a space between the back and mesh. Because it was clay, it broke into small pieces that fit through the mesh.
