MINE FATALITY – On January 30, 2023, a miner died while troubleshooting a belt conveyor when he fell through a 37-inch-long by 34-inch-wide hole created by the removal of a section of grating. The miner fell approximately 35 feet from the catwalk to the ground below.
Best Practices:
Operators should:
• Provide fall protection where there is a danger of falling and train miners on its proper use.
• Replace guarding/grating that protects temporary access openings as soon as completing work.
• Conduct workplace examinations and immediately correct any unsafe conditions.
Miners and mine operators can find safety and health information on MSHA.gov.
