Surface Mining Struck By Suspended Load Installation Fatality 2018 #safetyhistory #workplacesafety

A maintenance mechanic was installing a discharge chute on a vibrating screen when the suspended assembly became wedged and shifted. One change in load stability put a worker in the fall zone.

On March 14, 2018, MSHA documented a fatal struck-by event during chute installation at a surface mining crushing plant. The work wasn’t production. It was non-routine installation with an unstable load.

Why it matters: suspended loads don’t fail slowly. They move once, and the outcome is final.

Safe work is smart work.
