All MSHA-reportable accidents at Robinson Nevada Mining Company operations in 2022. Fatalities appear first.
Haul truck wheel motor bolts sheered off the axle box causing the right rear tires to break free from truck. Operator and trainer were evacuated from cab with no injury. MSHA was contacted as it took more than 30 minutes to dismount operators. MSHA Investigator came to the mine site and released the incident.
Employee was walking at the tire pad and slipped on ice, twisting right ankle. Technician requested an evaluation and the xray showed a small hairline fracture in the foot.
Utility crew was pulling shovel cable from frozen mud with pick up truck when cable broke loose from ground and hit tech in EE's knee. Tech is on light duty while doing PT & should wear a brace during recovery. No surgery.
Warehouse technician was moving a part and failed to use proper 2 person lifting technique. They pinched their finger, causing a laceration and fracture that required stitches on the fingertip of their left ring finger.
Supervisor lifted a garbage can of used hoses. When they flipped it over to dump it, they felt pain in their bicep. They had an MRI a week later and a rupture was identified. On 1/9/23 the incident became reportable medical treatment when the employee had an outpatient procedure to fix the bicep.
While technicians were attempting to clear the plugged chute for FE003 they had set the 25 lb. jack hammer to the side while shoveling material. The jack hammer began to teeter off the edge of the chute opening and a technician tried to catch it before it fell but the bit swung up and struck EE's right cheek causing small laceration.
