Northwest Carbonates; Bleeck Management safety activity

During cleanup activities, a miner's right ring finger was pinched between a full wheelbarrow of material and an elevated discharge chute. The miner quickly pulled their finger away from the pinch point which resulted in the loss of the finger nail and tip of their finger.

Miner squatted down to seal a manway cover on a railcar and felt something pinch in their lower back area causing pain that increased over time.

Miner leaned forward onto a full FIBC to tie the top spout closed which caused powder to exit the top spout into their face. The dust bypassed their safety glasses causing irritation to the left eye.

Miner was helping to change a gearbox on a screw conveyor that was difficult to remove. During this process a wrench they were using slipped and their hand hit a bolt on the equipment causing swelling and bruising.

Miner was walking up a stairway using the handrails and cut their left ring finger on a piece of sheet metal that was protruding out from the back of shelving that is stored beside the stairs. Miner received four stiches.

Miner was setting up the ditch area to be cleaned and slipped on slurry material on the ground while putting up caution tape to warn about slippery conditions. Miner fell on the concrete floor impacting their left knee and right wrist.

Miner was walking down the stairs from a dry powder bagging machine platform and hyperextended right knee while stepping down causing pain.
