ACNR Holdings, Inc safety activity

Injured employee was assisting co-workers in re-railing a supply car at the section supply track. They were using a track jack to lift the car. Employee pushed the jack bar down but jack didn't lock in causing the bar to snap up and struck employee on the side of their head causing a laceration to right ear. Employee failed to maintain control of the jack bar.

Employee was restacking supplies on a supply car when the employee felt pain in right elbow. PPE was not a factor, mining systems was not a factor, compliance with rules and regulations was not a factor.

The safety catch rod was distorted when one side of the brakes on the car set, but not both brakes. The safety plank (on side opposite parking lot) did not have enough clearance due to weather related metal expansion and contraction causing the brake to set inadvertently. No problems with equipment or compliance issues, training or PPE.

Employee had hand on the back of the Scoop bucket when the plow was retracted, causing the employee's finger to become caught. PPE was a factor, mining systems was not a factor, compliance with rules and regulations was not a factor.

Employee was building a wall, the employee's glove became caught beneath a block. As the employee pulled hand free, the block fell, striking the employee on the shoulder. PPE was not a factor, mining systems was not a factor, compliance with rules and regulations was not a factor.
