EE said he stepped on a rock and twisted his knee.
EE was getting tools together to remove an inspection plate on the Highwall Miner, when he accidentally stepped on a 3/8 inch hydraulic hose. The hose broke and hydraulic oil penetrated his boot and the outside of his right foot.
EE was stepping off the operator side of his dozer. As he stepped on the ground, his left foot landed on a rock and he crilled his left ankle. He was taken to the ER at Harlan ARH, where he was diagnosed with a sprained ankle and possible hair-line fracture. He returned to work the same day.
