"On December 16, 2022, a contract mechanic died while removing the counterweight of an excavator, when it fell and struck him.

Best Practices:

Operators should:

  • Block machinery components against motion before beginning maintenance or repairs.

  • Assure blocking material is substantial and installed correctly to support and stabilize the load.

  • Assure miners position themselves in a safe location and away from potential pinch point areas.

  • Train miners to conduct repairs according to manufacturer recommendations."
