Evans Quarries Incorporated · Struck by flying object

Employee was splitting up a cut. He had set wedges & broken the block. To relieve the pressure so he could pull the wedges, he was driving two wedges plus slips into a drill hole. One wedge bounced out striking him above the right eye. He was sent to walk-in clinic where he received three sutures & then returned to work.
