The miners were trying to switch out a 10" x 50' poly pipe that had ruptured with a Caterpillar excavator. EE had put the chain choker on the pipe so it could be removed from the ditch and was trying to exit the ditch at the steepest end and in doing so lost footing and fell down twisting left knee.

The miner was starting up the dredge and while doing so was on EE's phone and did not observe that the water nozzle was coming around to the right too far. The water struck the side door of the dredge and the miner knocking EE down and causing EE to strike the side EE's head on the microwave oven. This caused a laceration to EE's scalp of 6 inches.

The operator went out to the manual water cannon to reposition it and slipped.

We have installed a no slip surface in this area and ordered a remote controlled nozzle.
