15. Root Cause Analysis

16. Main cause of the Incident (Based on the RCA) Root Cause Analysis • Misunderstanding of working method : Main cause of the incident is misunderstanding of "where " with "when" According to stock pile advisory, “Secondary” Method of Stockpiling involvesdumping a load directlyover the crest of the pile. For this method to be performed safely, adequate berms must be maintained ~ …. It is critical to ensure thatmaterial is not removed from the toe of the pile when dumping is taking place at the top of the pile. → Applied “Prohibited” Method of Stockpiling involves ~ …. ~ wherematerial has been removed from the toeis prohibited. → Not applied

17. System and Management Related Causes Root Cause Analysis • Lack of risk assessment: Risk assessment of dumping work did not make complex working condition which clearly identifies all potential & practical risks (for example, multiple visible inspection for stable repose angle from the pile upside and downside) • Lack of real time inspection system : Real time inspection needs to check the risks of working condition and unsafe behavior depending on the working environment and weather condition • Inadequate SOP: SOP of dumping work is in place but there is inaccurate application for dumping work due to misunderstanding of stock pile advisory • Insufficient communication : Lack of communication between inspector and dump truck operators about the risks observed by inspector

18. Behavior related causes Root Cause Analysis • Mistranslation of the Advisory : Stock piling methods are not correctly translated to cause incorrect application of stock piling method. • Insufficient training of risk management : Workers are not skillful of risk recognition and assessment because of insufficient training of risk management including refresher training. • Not fully understanding of the Advisory: Especially stock piling method is not fully understood by workers even though repetitive training due to the mistranslation.

23. Key Lessons Learned • Workers should clearly understand Standard and Advisory (e.g.If youtake materials at the toe of the pile direct dumping is strictly prohibited) • In order to set up a SOP, it should be based on the Group Safety Standard & Advisory fully understood by workers. • The risk management system including inspection, risk assessment and communication system should be working effectively on-site to control not only formal & visible risk but all potential & practical risks in real time and regular monitoring should be followed to make sure the system is working • All employees and non-employees that operate or ride in any mobile equipment or vehicle shall fasten seat belts at all times.
