ACCIDENTS OCCUR WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT
MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION TO PREVENT THEM!
Three fatal accidents have occurred within a week at metal and nonmetal mines in USA. These accidents might have been avoided had there been proper berms, proper risk analysis, and careful planning before work began.
- • On 09/16/2013, a 58 year old miner was killed when the haul truck he was driving traveled through a berm and over a highwall.
- • On 09/18/2013, a 56 year old miner was killed when he was engulfed by material in a hopper.
- • On 09/19/2013, a 32 year old miner was killed when the truck he was driving flipped over.
Please stay alert and take the necessary actions needed to stop these accidents from recurring.

PLAN YOUR DAY – HAVE A SAFE DAY!
