On February 22, 2025, at approximately 2:00 a.m., Angel Gustavo Perez-Perez, a 28-year-old contract miner for Elite Refractory, LLC (Elite), with approximately 17 weeks of mining experience, was fatally injured when the bridge providing access into the kiln shifted, causing the skid steer loader he was operating to fall backward into the cooler chute. The accident occurred because: 1) the mine operator and contractor did not provide safe access to the inside of the kiln, and 2) the mine operator did not properly train miners to assemble and secure the ramp/bridge assembly for kiln access.
