Better Safe than Injured

Posted on January 6, 2019January 6, 2019

MNM Serious Accident Alert

Surface Crushed & Broken Granite – On August 9, 2018, a miner was injured when the pan scraper he was operating stalled, travelled through a berm and rolled over a bench.  The operator of the pan scraper was wearing a seatbelt and was able to escape with a cut arm.

Best Practices

  • Always wear a seat belt while operating mobile equipment.
  • Inspect mobile equipment thoroughly before operation. 
  • If deficiencies exist or if they develop during use, promptly remove equipment from service and report the problems to management.
  • Berms must be at least mid-axle height to the largest piece of equipment using a roadway.
  • Maintain equipment braking systems in good repair and adjustment. 

This alert can be posted on bulletin boards, used in safety talks, or given to miners and contractors as a hand out.
