"On April 13, 2024, a front-end loader operator drowned, lying face down in a pool of water. The front-end loader operator was last seen using a water hose to wash material off a concrete pad next to a pool of water.
Best Practices:
Conduct adequate workplace examinations before work begins in an area.
Maintain workplaces in clean and dry condition when possible.
Where wet processes are used, maintain drainage, and ensure safe access.
Ensure miners are able to communicate with others when assigned to work alone.
Routinely check on miners working alone."
