SAFETY BULLETIN NO: 58
STRUCK BY VENTILATION DOORS – DEATH OF CHARGE-UP
ASSISTANT IN A BLASTING ACCIDENT
The State Coroner has delivered his findings in a recent inquest into the death of a 29 year old underground miner in a blasting accident during 1998. The deceased was struck by steel ventilation doors as a result of air-blast over-pressure from the blasting of a down-hole raise round in an underground mine. It was found that an excessive amount of explosive was charged into the holes that were fired, due to confusion regarding the charging instructions
issued in respect of the raise.
