Two employees were installing a plastic deflector sheet into a chute and were lowering the deflector by hand. The deflector became wedged in the chute and when it dislodged, it dropped and pinched the employee's right thumb.

EE was assigned to cleanup along Fine Crusher 8 conveyor on 8 conveyor tripper floor. At ~6:45 pm, EE accessed the 8 conveyor on the south side and stepped on the dust seal belt and fell through ~12 ft. to the bin below. Resulted in fracture to 4 ribs, laceration to head and abrasions to torso.

While taking down a duct run for the dust collector, EE was removing the final hanger when the chain fall anchor pulled out of the concrete. The duct then spun and struck EE as it fell. Four chain falls had been installed to support the duct. When the duct spun, the anchor for the fourth chain fall also pulled out of the concrete ceiling.
