Diagnosis or cause of accident
ABC News 26 Jul 2019 The owners of a mothballed Western Australian gold mining operation where three workers were killed in a six-year span have been fined $150,000 over the most recent death in 2016. Central Norseman Gold Corporation has been fined a combined total of $305,000 for the three fatalities. Central Norseman was Australia's longest continuously-running gold mine, operating for 79 years until its 2014 closure. Central Norseman Gold Corporation, which is controlled by mining magnate Kevin Maloney's Tulla Resources Group, was sentenced in the Kalgoorlie Magistrate's Court on Friday over the death of 60-year-old Lindsay Bridges. The boilermaker was fatally crushed on July 26, 2016, when a corroded gantry bridge collapsed on him while he was working beneath it at the Norseman gold mill. Mr Bridges had been tasked with removing a large pipe known as a rake shaft that was designed to hang from the bridge. However, the bridge structure had been corroded to such an extent that the bridge was being supported by the rake shaft, and it collapsed as Mr Bridges was attempting to remove the pipe. Mr Bridges died while being transported to hospital.
