Serious Near Miss Incident – Level 2 | Unplanned movement

A serious near miss incident occurred when an equipment operator was grazed by the front wheel of a Cat 785 dump truck while he was on the ground conducting pre-start checks on the vehicle. Another operator had incorrectly assumed he was allocated this same truck and after completing his pre-start checks had entered the cabin and drove the truck away from the Go-Line without realising another operator was inspecting the same truck.
