ICG Beckley LLCMining Incidents in 2013

The hoist operator noticed the temperature was higher than normal and called for maintenance. After maintenance arrived and evaluated the situation they downed the hoist for trouble-shooting purposes.

To begin with this accident was not reported, nor was anyone aware of it occurring until 11/14/13. At which point we put it under investigation to determine its validity. The employee was changing a breaker in a power center and the breaker panel slipped and fell which caused a laceration to his right ring finger.

The employee was grading bottom with the CM. As he was trimming the bottom the roof ""bumped"" and drew his attention to the roof, the CM cutter drum was still cutting the bottom and while looking up a piece of foreign material went underneath his glasses.

The injured was working with another employee to find out why the # 23 ride would not tram. The employee knelt down into the drivers seat with his legs extending out of the ride. They were working on the tram/linkage cable, the ride took off unexpectedly which had caused his left to get between the ride and the rib.

The miner operator was hit by a shuttle car when he was behind the miner checking his center line.

Employee was using a sledge hammer to beat old ceramic tile out of a ceramic lined box. As he pulled the hammer back and started to swing in a downward motion, he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.

The employee was placing the drill steel into the drill pot. He was unaware that his glove had become pinched in-between the wrench and the steel. He initially thought his hand was clear, he started to rotate the steel which pulled his hand/glove around the steel.

The employee was bolting roof. The roof bolt nut had become stuck in the drill chuck. He attempted to remove it by placing a piece of drill steel against the mine floor and up into the bottom of the pot. He exerted downward pressure with the joystick and inadavertently maneuvered the joystick into the rotation phase and the bolt spun and hit him in the ear/face area.

The employee was dropping a an impact roller out of a tailpiece which had become fouled. He broke it loose by using a slate bar, when it fell approximately 5"" his hand was placed on the frame of the tail piece which was struck by the roller assembly.
