MINE FATALITY– On January 7, 2022, a 49 year-old front-end loader operator with 15 years of mining experience died when a large rock fell from the mine roof, crushing the cab of the front-end loader. When the accident occurred, the victim was loading material from a recently blasted shot.
Best Practices:
• Scale the back and ribs before performing work in an area.
• Conduct examinations of the back, face, and ribs where miners work and travel.
• Install suitable ground support where conditions warrant.
• Use geologic hazard mapping to identify adverse conditions and be aware of changing ground conditions.
• Train miners to identify workplace hazards and take action to correct them.
