Investigación final de la MSHA
On June 1, 2023, at 1:49 p.m., Ricardo Martinez, a 61 year-old customer truck driver, died from injuries he suffered after being struck by the right rear passenger side suspension assembly. Martinez was attempting to repair the ride height adjustment that controlled the rear air bag assembly at the time of the accident. The accident occurred because the mine operator did not ensure the machinery was blocked against hazardous motion before repair work began.
Causas fundamentales
  1. The mine operator did not ensure the machinery was blocked against hazardous motion before repair work began.

    Acción correctiva: The mine operator established a new procedure preventing anyone that is not an employee or a designated contractor of Hockley Plant from performing maintenance or repairs while on their property. The mine operator has trained, and will continue to train, all customer truck drivers on their new procedure.
