MINE FATALITY – On May 8, 2024, a miner was electrocuted while unloading a roll of belt from a trailer.  The miner was performing rigging duties when the crane boom contacted an overhead high-voltage powerline.

*Best Practices:*


* Ensure that booms or masts of equipment are not operated within 10 feet of any energized overhead powerline.
* Designate one person on the ground, located in a safe location, to give signals to the crane operator and watch placement and proximity of the boom.
* Use non-conducting tag lines to steady loads when operating cranes where overhead power lines are present.
* Post warning signs at all approaches to overhead powerlines; install barricades where necessary.
