    On August 27, 2004 at around 2:30pm, three workers at the Crushing Plant's scalping screen were injured when cleaning build-up material from inside the discharge chute. While two employees were using a ladder and pick inside the partially blocked chute, the built-up material dislodged and trapped them. The third employee standing on the locked out conveyor belt fractured his lower right leg. An investigation found the immediate causes were allowing entry into the confined space where material could slip, failure to follow safety procedures, poor illumination, unsafe design, and lack of risk assessments. Preventive actions will be pending the results of a full investigation.
