MSHA cites lack of training in fatal accident

摘要

Lack of hazard training and improper safety techniques were some of the root causes for the fatal accident that led to the February death of Christopher B. Stratton, a 34-yearold field service mechanic, at the Jap Creek mine in Walker County, Alabama, an accident report from the US Mine Safety and Health Administration said. Stratton, a field service mechanic with Thompson Tractor for 13 years, went to Jap Creek on February 1 to diagnose and repair an operational problem with a diesel engine on a Caterpillar D10R bulldozer.
