"On August 11, 2024, a miner died while clearing spillage around a belt conveyor head roller. During this process, the belt conveyor moved forward causing the miner to fall 37 feet down a transfer chute, onto a belt conveyor, where he landed on the top of a stacker tube and fell approximately 60 feet onto a coal stockpile.



Best Practices:



Lock out, tag out, and block belt conveyors against hazardous motion before performing repairs or maintenance.



Evaluate for possible stored energy and other hazards before beginning work.



Provide safe access where miners work.



Task train miners on safe work practices."
