Haul Truck Roll Over – Miner Rescued

On October 9, 2024, a 60-ton haul truck was dumping a load of material when the dump point sloughed off, causing the haul truck to slide down and over-turn, coming to rest upside down 15 feet below.  The driver was rescued from the truck through the side window of the cab with minor injuries.

*Best Practices*

* *Conduct workplace examinations *before work begins and as ground conditions warrant during the work shift to identify hazardous conditions, especially after heavy rain, or other significant weather changes.
* *Dump material at a safe distance from the edge* and push the material over the edge with a bulldozer. Clearly mark dumping locations with reflectors and/or markers.
* *Do not remove material from the toe of stockpiles* when it would create instability at dumping locations.
* *Always wear a seatbelt *when operating mobile equipment: remain inside the cab; never attempt to jump clear.
* *Train miners on recognizing dump-point hazards*, taking appropriate corrective actions, and using safe dumping procedures.
