MINE FATALITY – On August 4, 2024, a contractor suffered severe chemical and thermal burns after he stepped into a deep opening in the floor obscured by puddled liquid. The contractor fell into a mixture of hot water and caustic liquid. On September 2, 2024, he died from his injuries.

*Best Practices:*


* Install adequate warning signals and barricades for openings above, below, or near travelways where miners, including contractors, or materials may fall.
* Conduct workplace examinations to identify conditions that may adversely affect the safety or health of miners.
* Keep workplaces, passageways, storerooms, and service rooms clean and orderly.
* When wet processes are used, maintain drainage and provide false floors, platforms, mats, or other dry standing areas where practicable.
