All MSHA-reportable accidents at Staker Parson Companies operations in 2017. Fatalities appear first.
Employee was guiding belly dumps into dump. EE was standing behind a 4ft wing wall. As the truck dumped EE's main, EE became stuck on the material EE was off loading, and spun EE's rear dual tires & threw a 2 inch rock, approx. 20 feet over the wall, and struck our employee in the lip chipping EE's tooth.
After employee finished working on under cone belt and splitter employee was stepping off the belt, employee's right leg slipped off the new conveyor belt section employee just installed. Employee lost balance and left arm/elbow hit the troughing idler. Employee's coworker helped employee step off the belt.
EE was pulling the guard from the cone to replace the V-belts. EE hooked the cone above EE's head in the belt frame. There are two holes to hook the cone to, the chain on the cone would not release so EE jerked on it a couple times and it came out of the hole and struck EE in the face. This caused a laceration of the upper lip that required stitches.
Heber crew was changing screens. Employee and another employee were putting the strap iron to hold the potato belting on the back of the screen. Employee was holding the bolt laying down on the bottom deck with their legs sticking out when the piece of metal fell and struck employee's leg.
Employee was trying to cover an electrical panel with a tarp during a storm. The employee pulled on a rope that was attached through an eyelet on the tarp to secure the cover. The eyelet ripped out of the tarp causing the employee to cut self on the left arm with a knife the employee was holding in right hand.
