IE (sawyer) was moving a Surface saw with two other Miners using Volvo 120 loaders. There was some miscommunication between IE and an operator causing IE's thumb to get pinched between the track and wood blocking.
The employee was moving track for the underground saw in the 2 room. The pin that holds the track in place was being pulled out with the fork of a Volvo L120C. When the track pin broke free the injured reacted and stuck his hand out. The track pin struck injured in the palm of his left hand. He was sent for medical treatment and received 3 sutures.
