A worker died at Belaruskali’s number 3 mine on Nov. 2 at around 17.00 hours local time. The employee, a 27-year old ‘timberman’, is understood to have been working 420 meters below the surface. Media reports cite ‘a sudden emission’ of methane, which subsequently exploded as contributing to the fatality. The accident, which occurred during the maintenance shift, is being investigated but production has not been stopped, a Belarus Potash Co. (BPC) spokesperson said.
