Wheel of BelAZ Truck Crushes Excavator, Leaving Worker Injured
In the cold heart of Yakutia, a workplace incident has shaken the quiet of an open-type storage site for technological transport in a shift camp. The incident, which took place in November 2023, is currently under investigation by the Investigative Committee of Russia for Yakutia.
The accident, as reported by the press service of the Investigative Committee, involved heavy machinery, specifically an excavator and an autocrane. The excavator operator was performing a work order to dismantle the wheels of a "BelAZ" dump truck. However, during the movement of the dismantled wheel, it fell from the sling, causing an injury to the excavator operator.
The investigation is being conducted under Article 143.1, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which pertains to violation of labor safety requirements. Relevant technical documentation is being studied as part of the investigation, and it appears that the violation of these regulations led to a serious injury for the excavator operator.
The site supervisor and the crane operator are believed to be at fault for the incident, as they allegedly failed to ensure the safe securing and moving of the cargo. The incident has been reported by various news outlets, including YAKUTIA.INFO, and while VKontakte, Classmates, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Twitter are not directly mentioned, they could potentially be platforms where news about the incident is shared.
The investigation involves a range of investigative actions aimed at establishing the circumstances and causes of the incident. The incident occurred in a shift camp, a specific type of working environment, and the investigation is being carried out diligently to ensure the safety of all workers in similar settings.
It is a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to occupational safety regulations, and we hope that this incident serves as a catalyst for improved safety measures in the workplace. Our thoughts are with the injured excavator operator during this difficult time.
