What should a miner do if they see debris near the trolley wire?

When a miner sees debris near the trolley wire, the appropriate action is to report it. This is important for several reasons: first, debris can pose a significant safety hazard, potentially leading to electrical issues or even accidents. By reporting the debris, the miner ensures that trained personnel can address the situation adequately and safely. Reporting promotes a culture of safety where everyone plays a role in maintaining a secure working environment.

Taking immediate action, such as trying to remove it without proper training or equipment, might worsen the situation. Additionally, ignoring the debris can lead to unforeseen accidents, which would compromise the safety of all personnel working in the area. Calling a supervisor is also a viable action; however, the correct initial step is to report it within the established safety protocols of the mining operation to facilitate appropriate responses.
