A contracted fabricator was using a man lift on the 2nd floor of the plant to weld on the bottom of the froth cells. A section of the 2nd floor fell causing the manlift and contracted fabricator to fall to the first floor.
An employee had climbed up the ladder to check the feeder at the #1 hopper. While climbing back down the ladder, coal was loaded in to the hopper which caused the safety wire rope slack to tighten toward the handrail. The wire rope pinched employee's right ring finger against the handrail.
Driver stated while sitting in the truck and dumping a load of coal, he had his arm rested on the window of the tractor. The dump trailer was mid way up when the 2nd stage locking ring broke and allowed the trailer to fall. This caused a jolt to the truck which bruised the driver around and under his shoulder. Damage to trailer but not to truck.
