Miners with years of experience fall victim to fatal accidents
Two mining fatalities in mid-March show how dangerous the industry can be even for experienced workers who are aware of the hazards involved.
On March 14, 2018, a 56-year old crusher maintenance worker was killed while installing discharge chutes on the screen deck. The man – who had 15 years’ experience - sustained a traumatic head injury when a suspended chute shifted and struck him.
