摘要

Alberto Hernandez, production worker, age 22, was fatally injured on April 11, 2006, when a skid steer loader backed over him. The victim was tightening field fence wire with pliers to secure stone to a pallet, when the skid steer loader backed over him. The accident occurred because operating procedures were inadequate and did not ensure that pallets were placed away from the established haulage roadway so miners could safely work on them. A risk assessment to identify and eliminate all possible hazards was not conducted before starting the task.
