Monarch Silica, LLC · Struck by falling object
Miner suffered crushing laceration to big toe on right foot when a counterweight fell, striking EE's foot. EE was wearing steel toe boots which protected the foot from more serious injury. The miners were in process of changing a belt on wet plant machinery. A come-a-long holding the counterweight slipped allowing the weight to fall.
