On 11/10/11, the mechanic was welding overhead on a roof bolter drill slide hose protector. Hot slag rolled onto his left hand and burned his middle finger. The mechanic applied first aid treatment at the time of the incident, but did not report the incident as he felt that it was a minor incident. The burn became infected/abscessed and required medical treatment on 11/22/11.
