Miner was cutting a piece off of a conveyor belt using a utility knife. Miner was cutting towards their body , knife slipped and made contact with right forearm causing a laceration. Laceration was approx. 1" long and several mm deep and required medical attention.
While conducting R&R on a new conveyor (not energized) digging bar slid/fell onto a miner's hand causing a laceration to the miner's thumb. Initially it was believed to be controlled with gauze/bandage however due to bleed through etc the miner was sent to a clinic and was given 4 stitches to close the wound.
