Texto original en inglés 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.
