El dia 9/18/12 el minero reporta sentir dolor en la espalda alegando que se habia lastimado el dia 9/11/12 mientras conducia un camion articulado. Ese dia 9/18/12 no trabajo porque se fue para el Fondo del Seguro del Estado, y como no se ha comunicado con nosotros desde entonces, desconocemos la magnitud de la alegada condicion.

A miner that in 2009 was diagnosed with "STRAIN LUMBO SACRAL, HNP L4-5, L5-S1, RADICULOPATIA L5-S1 BILATERAL" did not report to duty on March 4, 2010. The miner was referred to El Fondo del Seguro del Estado to receive medical treatment. Allegedly the vibration of the 966C Front Loader caused by the dumping of the bucket caused the injury or aggravated his previous condition.

Productos De Agregados De Gurabo · Struck against a moving object

The miner was driving an articulated truck, and when he stopped and got down from the truck he felt a strong pain in his lower back, right leg and on the back of his neck. He was taken to El Fondo del Seguro del Estado to get treatment and is actually at rest. We still do not have a medical diagnose of his condition.
