Groupo Mexico Mining Incident
This accident occurred in Cananea, Mexico.
The truck driver lost control of the truck and went over the protective barrier.
The truck kept going for 30 mts (100 feet) and stopped just before a 200 mts (+600 feet) free fall thanks to the tyres being caught in the loose rock

Fatal Injury Frequency Rate
Minerals Council –
latest stats
In 2008-09 there were eighteen fatalities in
the Australian minerals industry. This is
fourteen more than the 4 reported in 2007-
08.
The FIFR has either risen or remained
constant across all States/Territories.

Australian Mining Risk
1991-2000
~26 fatalities each year
based on average over 10 years
workforce = ~ 80,000 people.Minerals Council of Australia
risk of death = ~ 1 in 5,000 per year
estimated acceptability = ~1 in 100,000 per year

Australian Mining Risk
2001-2010
~12 fatalities each year
based on average over 10 years
workforce = ~ 150,000 people.Minerals Council of Australia
risk of death = ~ 1 in 12,500 per year
estimated acceptability = ~1 in 100,000 per year

Why the concern?
Risk of being killed by lightning - 1 in 10 million
Risk of death by fire / explosion at home - 1 in 1 million
Risk of death in a 'safe' industry - 1 in 100,000
Risk of death in a road traffic accident - 1 in 10,000
Risk of death in UK mining - 1 in 1,000
British Nuclear Industry
Risk of death in Australian mining = ~ 1 in 5,000 per year
