Texto original en inglés de la MSHA
On September 6, 2024, at approximately 5:55 p.m., Gary Chapman, a 33 year-old continuous mining machine (CMM) operator with over 12 years of mining experience, died when he was struck by falling rock from the mine roof. The accident occurred because the mine operator did not: 1) comply with the approved Roof Control Plan (RCP), 2) conduct adequate examinations of the I-5 working section, and 3) have procedures in place to prevent miners from working or traveling under unsupported roof.
-
The mine operator did not comply with the approved RCP.
Acción correctiva: The mine operator developed, implemented and trained miners on a revision of the RCP addressing mining stumps for connecting crosscuts and measures taken for adverse roof conditions.
-
The mine operator did not conduct adequate examinations of the I-5 working section.
