Dangerous incident: haul truck breached

Mining Risk Management Products And Services

A haul truck breached a windrow at a dump.  The position 5 and 6 wheels breached the windrow and the operator only stopped when called by another operator. There was a 20m drop behind the windrow.

Recommendations to industry: Detailed training and procedures should be provided to operators relevant to dump design and conditions at the mine. Supervision should be in place to monitor worker understanding and compliance with procedures and training.
