Texto original en inglés de la MSHA

On August 11, 2021, at approximately 5:00 a.m., Timothy Collins, a 53 year-old contract truck driver with ten years and eight months of truck driving experience, died from injuries he sustained after a haul truck rolled over him. The accident occurred because the contractor did not: 1) assure truck drivers blocked trucks when parked on a grade, and 2) maintain the truck’s braking system in safe operating condition.

1. The contractor did not assure truck drivers blocked trucks when parked on a grade.

   Acción correctiva: The contractor developed written procedures for daily brake examinations and daily testing for its trucks on the haul road. As an additional precaution, the mine operator developed written procedures for daily brake examinations, and daily testing for trucks on the haul road by all contract trucking companies on its property. The mine operator trained all truck drivers on the new procedures.
