I.E. was lancing the off side shear jack pin on a continuous miner.  While adjusting to cut a better hole they had some hot slag and flash blow back on them.  This caused small burns to both their biceps and below the neck.  I.E. worked until a doctor took them off for the burns to heal on 8-16-2021.
