Miner was sitting on apron of screen before the Roto-Lift chipping clay out of fins while screen deck was not operating, but still energized. Roto-Lift started turning while miners feet were between fins, causing left leg to become crushed between Roto-Lift fin and frame of screen. EMS was called and miner transported to the ER.
Miner was cutting a conveyor belt with a utility knife when the blade slipped and lacerated EE's right knee.
The employee was in position to attach chains from a loader bucket to a conveyor. The loader bucket was raised, and the chains were hanging below the bucket. The loader operator backed up to reposition/center on the conveyor, and in doing so, the chains caught the conveyor, moved it, and it tipped over. Employee fell to the ground.
Miner was standing at the tailgate of EE's personal pickup truck while taking a lunch break and using EE's own knife to cut an apple when the knife cut EE's left pinky finger, requiring stitches to close the wound.
