MSHA MINE FATALITY - Final report issued – "On January 30, 2025, a miner died when a front-end loader operator unknowingly lowered a pallet of stone onto him.

Best Practices:

Develop traffic rules for mobile equipment and miners on foot. Ensure the Safety Program for Surface Mobile Equipment includes actions taken to identify hazards and risks to reduce fatalities.

Install collision warning technologies and added safety features such as cameras, sensors and radar.

Ensure adequate clearance and visibility when operating mobile equipment and be aware of where all persons on foot are located.

Wear high visibility clothing and communicate your location and intended movements to mobile equipment operators. Ensure they acknowledge your presence before you travel near mobile equipment.

Train all persons to recognize the limited visibility and blind areas inherent to the operation of self-propelled mobile equipment."
