EE was fixing a skirt rubber on conveyor for crusher. He had not shut down/locked out the machine. As he climbed out from under crusher he hit the control for the conveyor that he was kneeling on. EE was pulled 20' up on the conveyor where he held onto a steel cross member until a fellow employee shut down the machine. He suffered a twisted ankle & a fractured vertebra in his back.
While a haul truck was going up an icy hill, the truck's transmission shifted down, resulting in tires losing traction - the truck slid backwards down the hill and stopped suddenly at the bottom - the quick stop made the driver's head strike the cab - first aid was given, he went to a clinic & received 6 stitches - he was discharged with no restrictions - back to work after lunch.
