Coal Mine Safety and Health Report of Investigation Underground Coal Mine, Fatal Fall of Face, Rib, or Pillar Accident, June 29, 2011. Manalapan Mining Co., Inc., P-1 Mine, Smith, Harlan County, Kentucky. ID No. 15-19102

摘要

On Wednesday, June 29, 2011, at approximately 11:15 a.m., a 49 year old continuous haulage cable attendant (dolly man) received fatal injuries when a large section of rock measuring approximately 82 inches long, 36 inches wide, and 11 inches thick fell from the rib and knocked him into the dolly. There were no witnesses to the accident. It appears that during the mining process, the continuous haulage system backed up, causing the dolly to move along the lo-lo (belt) structure and apparently dragging the victim from beneath the fallen material.
