    • Description:
      In 10 years, 55 mine workers died as a result of falling from heights.

      "In 10 years, 55 mine workers died as a result of falling from heights (16 Laborers, 12 Equipment Operators, 9 Mechanics, 8 Truck Drivers, and 10 Others). 1. Install barriers and identify hazardous areas - prevent access to hazardous areas by installing barriers and clearly identifying areas that represent potentially hazardous fall risks.. 2. Use caution and follow best practices while completing tasks - follow approved fall safety prevention practices during maintenance, installation, construction, or dismantling activities. 3. Inspect and maintain equipment - look for defects, fix damaged and improperly modified equipment as needed, and remove significantly damaged equipment from service. 4. Use a personal fall arrest system - use only a certified full body harness sized to fit the user's height and weight. Ensure that the anchorage point and connector are rated for 5,000 pounds and that all necessary safety fall prevention training is up to date." - NIOSHTIC-2
