While bolting the back a 6 inch rock came loose from the back and struck the miner on the hand on top of the drill causing a cut that needed 4 sutures.

EE was bolting back and when he went to collaring the hole a small piece of muck fell striking his left middle finger. EE's left middle finger sustained a laceration and he had to have stitches.

After blasting a round & barring down & then mucking out the round it was found that the lifters had not pulled. While cleaning out the holes to re-shoot them, a rock fell from the back or rib hitting the ground and rolling across the miner's foot breaking it.

While re-routing a 4" compressed air line a rock, measuring 1'x1'x8" being held in place and hidden from view by the air line, fell from 9' high & hit the miner on the right hand & foot. Cut on middle toe, 6 days later, was infected & miner was checked into hospital.
