MSHA has released the final report on their investigation to the death of Phillip Wade Gustafson on June 8, 2010 at the Choctaw Mine in Parrish, Alabama. During the refueling of a surface drill with diesel, an explosion engulfed Gustafson and the drill and in spite of the best efforts of nearby drivers and rescue staff, Gustafson was pronounced dead on arrival at University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham. Gustafson was a fuel truck driver with the mine for approximately eight years.
The investigating team determined that the most likely cause of the explosion was a small fuel spill while refueling which came into contact with the turbocharger for the drill’s motor. MSHA has recommended an updated protocol which requires drill equipment to be turned off and allowed to cool before refueling.
