Laborer

The victim was operating a battery-powered, rubber tired, personnel carrier on the 2nd 48 supply road. As he traveled outby, for a presently undetermined reason, the golf cart veered suddenly to the left before overturning on top of him. Co-workers initiated CPR and continued to the surface. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at 1:59pm.

Texto original en inglés de la MSHA

1. Mine management did not have adequate programs, policies, and procedures in place to ensure safe travel of self-propelled vehicles on outby travelways of the mine. Miners were not appropriately trained on the policies and procedures.

   Acción correctiva: Safeguard 8439341, issued as a result of the investigation of the anonymous complaint, requires battery-powered self-propelled personnel carriers or mantrips to operate independently and not be pushed by any other self-propelled personnel carriers or mantrips. The safeguard allows disabled vehicles to be slowly pushed to the side of the roadway in the immediate area. Afterwards, all subsequent movement of disabled carriers or mantrips must be done by towing.
