MSHA has a wonderful new arrangement to it’s web page. Truly, it seems easier to navigate and more logically arranged than ever, BUT it also means that many of the hundreds of links from this site may no longer work. You’ll know because instead of what you’re looking for you’ll find the dreaded 404 Error page. If you’re in a hurry you can probably find the page you’re looking for by replacing the “www” in the address on the page where you found the 404 Error message with “arlweb”.
Let me know, though when you find one by emailing me at randy@completesafetysolutions.com.
On December 28, 2015, a 42-year old miner with 3 years of experience was killed at a surface gold mine. The operator of a loaded haul truck was attempting to have his truck climb a snow covered access road when his truck slid backwards striking the cab of the victim’s loaded haul truck, which was also recovering from sliding backwards down the same access road. Several minutes later, a third loaded haul truck also slid down backwards while attempting to climb the access road, colliding with the other wrecked haul trucks.
On December 15, 2015, a 75-year old tow truck laborer was killed at a cement plant. As the tow truck operator was lowering the truck’s boom it struck the victim. The victim suffered a severe head wound but was conscious when transported to a local hospital but later died of his injuries.
