Texto original en inglés de la MSHA
On June 8, 2023, at 4:06 p.m., David Ayick, a 60 year-old miner with 28 years of mining experience, died when he fell approximately 16 feet from a belt conveyor while performing maintenance work. The accident occurred because the mine operator did not: 1) ensure the Eriez Magnet Belt Conveyor was de-energized and blocked against hazardous motion before the miner performed maintenance, and 2) provide safe access to the Eriez Magnet Belt Conveyor.
-
The mine operator did not ensure the Eriez Magnet Belt Conveyor was de-energized and blocked against hazardous motion before the miner performed maintenance.
Acción correctiva: The mine operator retrained all miners in 1) blocking machinery and tools against hazardous motion during maintenance and repairs, and 2) lock-out tag-out procedures.
-
The mine operator did not provide safe access to the Eriez Magnet Belt Conveyor.
Acción correctiva: The mine operator developed and implemented a new written procedure to provide safe access for performing maintenance, repairs, and adjustments to the Eriez Magnet Belt Conveyor. The mine operator installed new work platforms and provided ladders to access the areas while performing maintenance and repairs. The mine operator trained miners on the use of this safe access.
