Texto original en inglés de la MSHA

On December 1, 2014, Darwin O. Glover, Contract Truck Driver, age 46, was killed while operating an articulated haul truck. Glover was traveling along the main quarry haul road and failed to negotiate a curve in the road. The truck traveled over a berm and went into a large pond. Glover drowned in the accident and a rescue diver extricated him from the truck. The accident occurred due to contractor management’s failure to ensure that the victim maintained control of the truck he was operating at all times. An inspection of the truck did not identify any defects and the haul road and berms were in good condition. Glover was not wearing a seat belt.

1. Contractor management policies, procedures, and controls did not ensure the victim wore his seat belt when operating the haul truck.

   Acción correctiva: All contract truck drivers received additional training regarding the required use of seat belts when operating haul trucks. Management will monitor truck drivers to ensure seat belts are worn.
