EE was not wearing a seat belt while loading rock into a haulback truck. As he tried to lift a rock, the teeth on the bucket slipped, causing EE to hit his head against the air conditioner. The knob on the air conditioner caused a laceration on his head that required 5 staples. He was given a full release for the following day. No lost time.
