While operating the telescopic forklift, the miner opened the left-hand door, high wind pulled the door from the miner's grip, broke safety strap, the door hit the frame and shattered the glass creating flying debris. Debris was removed from beneath the eyelids, an ointment applied, the mine returned to work.
While cleaning up after a welding repair in sizing screen, the Miner transferred their weight onto their left arm and rotated to swing their legs over side of sizing screen to exit. This caused the Miner to strain their left shoulder.
