A MAINTENANCE contractor has been fined $20,000 over the death of a worker at Fortescue Metals Group’s Christmas Creek iron ore mine. Mesa West Pty Ltd was ordered to pay the penalty in Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
Allen Zuvela was killed and co-worker Ben Reid was seriously injured when they were crushed while working on a surface mining machine on December 29, 2013, because rigging between the cab and overhead crane failed due to overloading.
WA Department of Mines and Petroleum Mines safety director Andrew Chaplyn said the department’s investigation found a chain of events led to the incident that killed Mr Zuvela and injured Mr Reid.
