November 1, 2010 CO · Metal/Non-Metal ledgeman/hand, quarry man SLIP OR FALL OF PERSON
Mt Emmons Moly Company · Fall to the walkway or working surface

Employee was attempting to free a 12 foot section of air line from its hangar when he slipped on mud coating the sill between the rail and rib. He fell to the sill on his backside. The accident did not involve any mining equipment or protective devices. The work being performed was not part of a mining method, but a safety upgrade.
