EE & CO-WORKERS HAD BEEN BARRING DOWN AN OLD ACCESS TO THE TOP OF THE MINE SO WE CAN INSTALL A BACKFILL PLUG TO CLOSE A BREAKTHROUGH. THEY STEPPED OUT ON THE CATCH BENCH TO HAVE A LOOK WHEN A ROCK ROLLED OFF FROM THE HIGHWALL HITTING EE IN THE BACK.
EE WAS MUCKING OUT OF A STOPE WHEN SOME MATERIAL PEELED FROM BACK, HITTING THE LOADER. EE CLIMBED OUT OF THE LOADER & WALKED TO THE INTERSECTION WHERE THE OTHER MINERS HELPED HIM.
THE BREAKER HAD TRIPPED TO THE HOIST IN THE SHOP. EE LIFTED THE LID ON THE PANEL TO RESET THE BREAKER. HE HAD HIS HAND ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX AND THE DOOR FELL SHUT, CUTTING HIS THUMB.
EE WAS ROCKBOLTING AND A PIECE OF MATERIAL GOT IN HIS EYE.
WE WERE STARTING A NEW STOPE. SLOT WAS ALREADY OPER. A COUPLE OF TRUCKS HAD BEEN MUCKED NOW REMOTE. IT WAS TIME TO START REMOTING. THE OPERATOR OF THE NEXT TRUCK TO BE LOADED FOUND THE LHD OPE RATOR PINNED BETWEEN THE BACK CORNER OF THE LHD AND THE RIB.
EE WHO IS THE PERSON INVOLVED, WAS FUELING UP THE UNDERGROUND EQUIPMENT, AS HE WAS GOING AFTER ANOTHER PIECE OF EQUIPMENT HE SLIPPED ON THE FROZEN GROUND THAT HAD SOME RUTS IN IT, AND TWISTED HIS ANKLE. BREAKING THE TIBULA BONE IN HIS LOWERRIGHT LEG.
A CUT (4890L4) WAS STARTED BETWEEN 10 CEMENTED BACKFILL CUTS. ON SECOND ROUND, THE BACK STARTED PEELING. GROUND GAVE WAY 15' BACK THRU THE MUCKBAY INTERSECTION. AREA WAS BOLTED, WIRED AND S HOTCRETED. LEVEL HAS BEEN OPEN OVER A YEAR AND WATER WAS PRESENT.
THE LAST ROUND HAD BEEN SHOT IN A CUT AND FILL SECTION. THERE WAS A WEDGE SHAPED SECTION OF THE BACK THAT WAS NOT FULLY SUPPORTED BY BACKFILL ONTHE LEFT RIB. WHEN MINERS CAME IN THE SECTION ABOVE THE ROUND THAT HAD BEEN SHOT, AND THE ROUND BEFORE THAT HAD BEEN SHOT, THERE WAS GROUND FAILURE.
