August 5, 2023 GA · Metal/Non-Metal ledgeman/hand, quarry man Fatality · FALLING/SLIDING/ROLLING MATERIALS

Savannah Valley Quarries, LLC · Struck by falling object

The crew had drilled a chain hole and connected a chain to lift the block a short distance to break away from the ledge. When this occurred, grout rock remaining on the ledge above to miners broke loose and fell striking both of them, fatally injuring one and seriously injuring the second miner. The grout rock was left from the previous day, and was examined and determined safe.
