After 9 months of unemployment, Joe has recently completed the required training to reenter the mines as well as an advanced first aid course. He has been hired as an experienced roof bolter at a drift mine. This is his first day on the job. A scoop loaded with supplies pulls up and six other miners start climbing on top Of it. Two miners get into the bucket next to the supplies. Joe is instructed to ride on top of the scoop. The mine roof is low and the roadway is rough. As the scoop approaches the dinner hole, someone screams "Stop!" Paul has fallen off. Paul is lying on his back in a puddle of water on the mine floor, just behind the scoop bucket. The scoop has run over him. There is blood on both of Paul's legs just below the knees. No one takes charge. Joe must decide what to do.
