Investigación final de la MSHA
On Friday August 25, 2017, at approximately 12:08 p.m., Owen Jones, a 51-year-old mine examiner with over 27 years of mining experience fell onto a moving conveyor belt and received fatal injuries. Jones was attempting to cross the conveyor belt to complete his examination of the belt when he fell. The fatal accident occurred because the crossover provided by the operator was not suitable for Jones and other miners to use as a means to cross over the belt when it was moving. In addition, the operator had not installed a guard to prevent Jones from crossing over the conveyor belt in an unsafe manner.
Causas fundamentales
  1. The mine operator did not provide an adequate crossover outby the No. 2 belt drive for miners to safely cross the moving No. 1 conveyor belt.

    Acción correctiva: The mine operator removed the crossover and constructed an adequate crossover for miners to use (see Appendix F).

  2. The configuration of the drive on the outby side of the rock box was not constructed to prevent a miner from using it as means to cross the moving conveyor belt.

    Acción correctiva: The mine operator installed guards at certain belt transfer locations to prevent miners from using them as a means to cross a moving conveyor belt.
