Safety Measures Set For Alpeca Operation
Federal re inspection of the Gaston No 2 mine in Alpeca Wyoming County found safety practices generally align with standards but urged auxiliary steps. The operation, employing 187 men and yielding 723 tons daily, was reviewed in September and October by Inspector A L Ulshafer. Proposed measures include firing shots after charging during on shift blasting, halting risky haulage practices, electrical safeguards, guarding shaft ends, trip position indicators in the engine room, repairing permissible lamp locks, a positive employer identification system, and eye protection for workers performing dangerous tasks.
