"Regulators cite Red Dog mine owner for 13 safety violations", 5 October 2023

" Federal mine-safety regulators have cited the owners of the Red Dog mine for 13 violations that agency inspectors found at the mine in August. But agency officials say Teck Alaska has addressed the violations at the zinc mine near Kotzebue.

Red Dog is one of the biggest zinc and lead mines in the world, and it has a history of violating federal health and environmental laws and regulations. But the 13 violations inspectors found at the mine in August involve safety hazards for miners.

A spokesperson for the Canada-based Teck Alaska declined to talk about the violations on tape, but said in an email Tuesday that “At Red Dog Operations, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our people.” ...

The Labor Department spokesperson said MSHA has fined Teck more than $46,000 and proposed penalties for all 13 violations — eight of which were categorized as significant and substantial. MSHA said seven could’ve caused miners to slip, trip or fall, and one was for failure to provide safe access to a work area. ..."
