Very good, Jamar! When working near rock faces, we must always be aware of what may happen. In reviewing this picture, we can see loose rocks on the wall behind the truck and loader - is that the extent of the wall height? Unknown; if it is, risk is low - if it is higher, risk is much higher and they need to move away from the wall.
Great catches, Jamar!
It looks like the haul truck is too close to the face and there is loose rock on the back wall that can fall and bounce down loader arms and into the cab. They need to move away and scale that wall.
