Texto original en inglés de la MSHA

Investigación final de la MSHA
On December 6, 2022, at approximately 1:30 p.m., Hagen Barton, a 41 year-old charger tractor operator with over 16 years of experience, died when the charger tractor he was operating struck a pillar, causing him to be thrown from the charger tractor and crushed by its rear tire. Barton was returning the charger tractor to the main powder magazine area when the accident occurred. The accident occurred because the mine operator did not: 1) ensure the charger tractor operator maintained control of the charger tractor, and 2) enforce their policy requiring miners to wear seat belts while operating mobile equipment.
Causas fundamentales
  1. The mine operator did not ensure that the charger tractor operator maintained control of the charger tractor.

    Acción correctiva: The mine operator set up a training area on the surface of the mine to train new miners on mobile equipment prior to entering the underground portion of the mine. The mine operator retrained all experienced charger tractor operators on mobile equipment and safe operating habits.

  2. The mine operator did not enforce their policy requiring miners to wear seat belts while operating mobile equipment.

    Acción correctiva: The mine operator held safety meetings with all miners to retrain them on policies and requirements regarding seat belt use, equipment pre-operational inspections, and workplace examinations. Additionally, the mine operator inspected the seat belts on all mobile equipment for excessive wear and other damage.
