Firstgold Corp. · Fall onto or against objects

While working around the core tube breakout tray, the EE slipped and lost his balance in trying to regain his balance, he struck his right hand on the breakout tray. The weather was extremely cold which made the footing slicker than usual. The back of the EE's right hand was bruised.
