INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT
Item 1.04. Mine Safety.
On April 17, 2013, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. (Halliburton), was issued an oral “imminent danger order” (the “Order”) by the U.S. Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration (the “DOL”), under Section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (“MSHA”), to stop certain activities that one of Halliburton's employees was allegedly conducting at its Dunphy, Nevada Barite Milling Plant on the wind box section of a grinding mill: the employee removed the hand rail to walk onto the wind box located approximately 5 feet 4 inches above ground. The employee exited the wind box section immediately and the hand rail was secured. The alleged imminently dangerous conduct ceased once the verbal order issued, thus immediately terminating the order.
In addition, in connection with the Order, the DOL issued Halliburton a citation under Section 104(a) of MSHA because the employee was allegedly not wearing safety belts and lines and the platform was not equipped with attachment points for a lifeline.
