Drummond shuts coal pit after worker dies

摘要

Colombian coal producer Drummond has closed a pit after a worker died. Operations at Pribbenow stopped around 18:30 COT (00:30 GMT) on 18 June after a section caved in following recent heavy rains. The worker, who was clearing a road on a bulldozer, died in the accident. Work at Drummond’s larger pit El Descanso and coal terminal on the Caribbean coast closed temporarily as a mark of respect. The loading of two vessels at the port was set back.
