The injured employee was standing on a small metal step platform next to the jaw crusher. When EE stepped back to one side of the platform, it flipped over causing the employee to fall forward and land partially on the ground and partially on the legs of the platform. The platform is 18 inches high and was placed on the ground.
Miner was standing on the frame rail of a feed hopper approx. 3' off the ground. His feet slipped on the rail and he reached out to grab a cross member to prevent a fall. This resulted in a jarring motion and strain in his left shoulder.
