Texto original en inglés de la MSHA
On December 23, 2019, at approximately 4:15 p.m., Raymond "Ray" Starkey Jr. (Starkey), a 21-year old general inside laborer, was fatally injured when he was caught between the 72-inch wide belt and the steel frame of the belt tailpiece. The accident occurred because the assembly holding the Cameron Corridor belt in place was not strong enough to withstand tension created during the belt move. The mine operator used belt grippers, lever hoist chains, and lever hoists that were not designed to withstand the forces generated during the move.
-
The Cameron Corridor belt was not adequately blocked against motion during the belt move.
Acción correctiva: The mine operator revised and expanded their belt move procedure. The revised procedure requires the belt splice to be positioned at least 100 feet outby the tailpiece. It also requires all belt tension to be removed, which eliminates the need to clamp the belt near the tailpiece. Miners were trained in the revised procedure.
-
Adequate supervision was not provided while the victim was being task trained.
Acción correctiva: The mine operator trained miners who perform the supervised portion of task training to ensure trainees are safe while they are being trained.
