Narrative

While installing a hinge pin on a continuous miner on 4 South Head the employee struck the hinge pin with a hammer, and a piece of debris struck them in the submental area (transition area between chin and neck), causing a small laceration. Doctors initially elected not to treat it, but on 08/26/2026 the employee returned to the doctor to have the debris removed.
