MINE FATALITY – On April 19, 2021, a miner stopped his haul truck in front of his personal vehicle to get his lunch. While standing and eating his lunch, the haul truck rolled forward, pinning the miner between the haul truck and his personal truck.
Best Practices:
• Do not leave mobile equipment unattended unless the controls are placed in the park position and the brake is set.
• When parking mobile equipment on a grade, chock the wheels or turn them into a bank. Maintain equipment braking systems in good repair and adjustment.
• Position yourself in a safe location away from potential “danger-zone” areas.
• Train miners to safely perform their tasks.
