EE was setting the electronic equipment to detect the centering of the holes to be drilled with the 3" diameter drill. EE mistakenly leaned on a rod of the hole finder equipment and fell. EE, two days later on the phone, told me that EE had broken EE's wrist and ankle.
The worker was working with our technician at the power cabin at the quarry. When our technician was not present in the cabin the worker did a non-authorized procedure in the power cabin and gets shocked. The skin on the worker's hands was burned.
2 weeks ago, employee informed me that EE reported a finger pain to the previous Quarry Manager in February. EE didn't know of a specific task or event that caused the pain, but felt repetitive work tasks may have been a factor. EE was taken to the hospital for treatment. This injury was never reported MSHA because I discovered this only 2 week ago.
