BM Alliance Coal Operations fined $78K for worker's death at Saraji Mine due to safety breaches.
Coal mining company, BM Alliance Coal Operations, was fined $78,000 for safety breaches in the death of worker Allan Houston, who died under a bulldozer at the Saraji Mine. The company pleaded guilty and admitted to safety and health management system failures, which caused confusion for workers. The court acknowledged that the risk to coal mine workers was not at an acceptable level but did not convict the company. Mining and Energy Union criticizes the fine as insufficient and calls for stricter enforcement of safety requirements.
