2 Overview The victim was killed when he fell onto a moving belt conveyor. He was operating a mobile articulating conveyor unloading sand from a rail car into a haul truck when he contacted the moving belt conveyor. The accident occurred due to management’s failure to provide emergency stop devices and/or railings on the conveyor that would have deactivated the conveyor and/or prevented the victim from falling onto the moving conveyor.

4 Root Cause Root Cause: Management failed to provide emergency stop devices or railings on the conveyor that would have deactivated the conveyor and/or prevented the victim from falling onto the moving conveyor. Management also failed to provide safe work procedures to persons working near conveyors. Corrective Action: Management installed handrails on the conveyor to prevent persons from contacting the moving conveyor. Safe work procedures for working near conveyors were also established and all persons were trained regarding these new procedures. Additionally, emergency stops, with panic bars, have been positioned at the throat of the conveyors.
