Perry County Coal Corporation · Struck by... (Not Elsewhere Classified)

Two employees were struck by the boom of the pivoting hoist. At this point in the investigation, it appears that the boom or boom hoist ropes came in contact with an adjacent structure as the boom was being lowered. The elevation of the boom changed suddenly as the boom hoist rope or boom lost contact with the structure, striking both individuals.
