Texto original en inglés de la MSHA
On April 9, 2023, Filemon Ortiz, a 63 year-old laborer with approximately ten years of mining experience, died while mounting off-road truck tires on two-piece wheel rims with lock rings (rims). The lock ring from one of the assembled rims dislodged, causing the lock ring to propel into the air and strike Ortiz. The accident occurred because the mine operator did not: 1) correct defects on rims that affected safety to prevent the creation of a hazard to miners, 2) provide task training for mounting tires on rims, and 3) notify MSHA when mining commenced.
