On July 29, 2011, a subsidiary of Texas Industries, Inc. (TXI) received an imminent danger order issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The order was issued to the TXI Bells/Savoy Aggregate Operations plant located in Fannin County, Texas. The order stated that an employee was observed working under a conveyor belt that was held up by a fork lift. The fork lift was parked on an incline with the motor running, no one was inside the cab, and the wheels of the fork lift were not chocked or turned into a bank. The parking brake was engaged, and when it was released the
fork lift rolled back.
No accident or injury occurred.
