Ronald A. Baughman II, a 29-year-old equipment operator with two years of total mining experience, died on February 27, 2020. While working with other miners to set a steel plate vertically against the frame of a feed hopper, the plate fell on him. The accident occurred because mine management did not follow their procedure for securing the steel plate prior to removing the rigging.
