One miner was preparing to move a welding trailer to another location when another miner dropped a piece of metal from the location where EE was working on top of a kiln. The metal struck the first miner in the left hand causing a cut and swelling. It was determined at the clinic that a bone was also chipped and EE will be on light duty for about three weeks.
