The EE was using a cutting torch while working on a S/C conveyor chain. The torch slipped out of EE's hand. As EE went to pick it up EE's knee contacted the hose and spun the torch head causing it to go across EE's right thumb.
EE was cutting a rock box off of an idle tail piece. As EE was adjusting position in the rock box the flame of the torch went across right hand. Leaving EE with a burn on right hand.
The EE was trouble shooting a hydraulic hose on the foot of the ATRS. EE had swung the off side bolter head out so that ee could get in between it and the ATRS. Another EE was coming up the side of the RB hanging cable and started the machine and swung the head in out of way to hang cable. Which in turn pinched the first EE in between the ATRS and the bolter head.
