WE Soda Alkali, LLC safety activity

Had a chain fall hooked on the valve; when they got the valve off the ground and into position, the employee's hand got caught between valve and the separator structure, smashing EE's right middle finger.

The air in the longwall headgate #2 entry inby of the longwall face had an oxygen content of less that 19.5% and was continuing to drop. The crew was pulled from the area until the ventilation could be fixed and the oxygen content was restored to above 19.5%.

While putting a drilling machine on the cage to be hoisted out the cage faults causing it to drop roughly 3 feet until the safety system set the brakes.

A roof fall occurred in the tailgate bleeder entry of the longwall. The tailgate entry was cut off sites causing the shear to extend into the entry further than normal. This causing the shear to cut out the crib in the tailgate.

Employee turned and started to walk when EE felt a pain in EE's knee.

While supervisor was going in to preshift the area of the initial K order so the crew could go in and start working on mitigating the fall that occurred on 9-4-2026 they found that another area had fallen. A plan has been submitted to MSHA and rehabilitation work is ongoing.

A roof fall occurred in the tailgate bleeder entry of the longwall that was above anchor point. The fall was not in an active working area, nobody was injured, and it did not affect ventilation. The event occurred because the entry was cut off sites causing the shear to extend further than normal when cutting out the tailgate.

While inspecting the return a roof fall was found in 1 entry at 0 cross cut of the 458 North area. The area was flagged off, no injuries reported, and ventilation was not disrupted.
