MINE FATALITY – On December 16, 2022, a contract mechanic died while removing the counterweight of an excavator, when it fell and struck him.
Best Practices:
Operators should:
• Block machinery components against motion before beginning maintenance or repairs.
• Assure blocking material is substantial and installed correctly to support and stabilize the load.
• Assure miners position themselves in a safe location and away from potential pinch point areas.
• Train miners to conduct repairs according to manufacturer recommendations.
Miners and mine operators can find safety and health information on MSHA.gov.
