In the morning of Oct 25th, two haul trucks made contact at the T intersection near 4 crusher.
One haul truck was making a blind turn in the intersection, as a second truck also made a turn into the same intersection. The result was contact on a shallow angle, resulting in minor equipment damage, and minor injuries. The Company has labeled this as a HPI 3, which deems it as a Dangerous Occurrence, and will be sat as an ICAM starting on Monday morning. This is a good time to remind all employees who access active roads at the mine, to ensure they understand who has the right of way. The general rule of thumb is to give the right of way to equipment that is larger than you or that is loaded, and always give the right of way to flashing lights. It is also very important to not enter into any intersection without a visual confirmation that you can see around you, and ensure that your mirrors and windows are clean at all times. With current road conditions, it's also a reminder to employees to drive at safe speeds, as the roads are only going to get worse as we progress into winter. Please also ensure your windows are defrosted prior to driving, your washer fluid is full and you carry spare fluid in your vehicle. Safety is Ours. |
