Incident on Jan 24, 1996: Three employees burned when slag cleaning vessel explodes

At 4:52 p.m. on January 24, 1996, Employees #1 through #3 were present when a ma jor explosion occurred in an electric slag cleaning vessel at a copper smelting operation. The cleaning vessel was a furnace that used carbon electrodes to heat a molten mixture, separating slag material and copper-containing material. An i nitial minor explosion may have been caused by removal of the electrodes from th e molten mixture, by hydrolyzed water, or by water reacting with the material. T he first explosion was probably caused by suspended coke dust, a substance added to the molten mixture within the cleaning vessel. The suspended coke dust then ignited into a second major explosion. Employees #1 through #3 sustained burns f rom the superheated steam.

Incident on Sep 9, 1992 (fatal): Employee dies of heart attack after crushed between railcars

Employee #1 was involved in railroad car de-coupling at a primary copper smelter operation. The employee was manually opening the couplings of two railroad cars fully loaded with copper ore. The coupling on car #2 was opened first, and then the employee manually opened the coupling on car #1. Car #2 rolled toward car # 1 while the employee was between the two cars and had his back to car #2. Employ ee #1 was caught between the couplings of cars #1 and #2, and suffered a crushed pelvis. During hospitalization, Employee #1 suffered a fatal heart attack. The treating physician attributed the onset of the heart attack and the failed treat ment for the diagnosed atrial arrhythmias to the accident trauma. The death cert ificate lists the cause of death as "complications of blunt force trauma." The i nvolved railroad cars were not secured by brakes, wheel stops, or other recogniz ed positive control methods designed to prevent car movement, nor was such a saf ety procedure in place.
