Fatal accident at RBPlat’s Styldrift I Project
RBPlat regrets the death of Mr Tieli Francis Seoehle at our Styldrift I
Project on the night of 8 December 2015.
Mr Seoehle, a SAN contractor employee who was employed as a Rockdrill
Operator, was fatally injured after being struck by a rock during
barring activities.
All normal underground operations at Styldrift I have been suspended
pending a full investigation into the accident. RBPlat is working in
conjunction with the Department of Mineral Resources on the
investigation.
Notwithstanding the disappointing fatal incidents we have suffered this
year, RBPlat remains resolute in its drive to achieve zero harm through
our uncompromising commitment to the safety of our employees.
The RBPlat board of directors and our management team extend our sincere
condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr Seoehle for
their loss.
