Rock was wedged in the conveyor belt. The on/off switch was bumped to try to free it. Did not say "go", EE said "No". When the conveyor bumped forward the rock bar was in the tail pully resulting in foreman being struck in the chest with the bar throwing them 6-7' in air and landing on the ramp.
Miner was operating a Caterpillar 988 Front End Loader driving between stockpile & crusher. Quarry roads and floor are maintained by him to his liking so they are kept in quite decent shape. Possibly was operating too fast for conditions causing bouncing and/or jarring causing a low back injury.
Minor was transferring limestone from the ground & then stacking it on pallets when he later noticed his back was hurting. No significant injury at the time just continuous bending, lifting, & twisting throught the day.
Employee was loading the conveyor table with limestone slabs and a small piece got stuck in the rollers, so he tried to slide the piece loose and his hand got pinched between the rollers.
EE WAS DRIVING THE WATER TRUCK UP AN INCLINE. TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING, THEN STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS HITTING A WALL. EE HEAD SLAMMED INTO THE BACK WINDOW RESULTING IN HEAD AND NECK PAIN.
