November 8, 2020 - Fatality Alert

MINE FATALITY – On Nov. 8, 2020, a bulldozer operator was killed when his bulldozer backed over the edge of a highwall. Best Practices: •    Install and maintain lights to illuminate working places during the night and early morning hours. •    Install berms, signs or devices to identify the edge of working benches and to allow equipment operators to maintain control of equipment. •    Train equipment operators to identify dangerous conditions and to keep the dozer blade between the operator and the edge when near drop-offs. •    Develop and enforce policies requiring safety belts when operating machinery. Miners and mine operators can find safety and health information on MSHA.gov.
