March 16, 2015 VA · Coal section foreman, bullgang foreman, labor foreman, leadman, shift boss Fatality · FALL OF FACE/RIB/PILLAR/SIDE/HIGHWALL

Paramont Coal Company Virginia LLC · Struck by falling object

Employee was in the process of conducting his pre-shift exam on the section when he was found by another miner. He was pinned between a fallen rib and shuttle car that had been parked in the crosscut. The incident was not witnessed. Material that dislodged from the rib appeared to have struck the foreman on the right side of his body which resulted in fatal injuries.
