BREAKING: Cleveland Potash Ltd has been fined £3.6million after two contractors suffered severe burns in 'arc flash' incidents at the Boulby mine in the North York Moors
Mr Moulton also retrieved a bolt from another breaker, but as he did so noticed that the inner parts were dirty and decided to use a vacuum cleaner. The resulting explosion blew him 1.6 metres to the ground with force, and left him with burns to 20 per cent of his body, mainly his face, arms and hands, the latter of which caught fire.
A written document about the plans was found to have not been adapted or amended when changes were made, errors were not corrected and it was 'misleading'. In the second incident, in 2019, Thomas Dixon was working in the Motor Control Centre, where each cubicle had a lockable isolator. However, the switch only made the outgoing current dead, not the incoming, and this could be over-ridden by total isolation through opening the main breaker. Cleveland Potash had an obligation to isolate the current.
After working at the rear of a cubicle where the current was isolated, he made a 'simple error' at the front without realising it was a mirror image of the rear. His hands were within 20mm of 415-volt live cables which would likely have killed him if contact had been made, and the flash left him with burns to eight per cent of his body. He has since made a full recovery.
"There has since been a reinvigorating of the health and safety environment, with new staff who have taken on the task, and the situation is wholly improved. They have a strong and positive relationship with their staff and are a major employer making a positive contribution to the local area."
