    A dump truck operator at the Katamati Iron Mine felt asleep while returning from a trip, causing his truck to veer off the road and jerk, resulting in back pain. He was initially treated and released from the local hospital but reported continued back pain the next day. An investigation found that while the road and lighting were adequate, the truck's fatigue monitoring system was not integrated with other systems to generate real-time alerts. Recommendations included reminding employees to rest before night shifts and integrating fatigue monitoring with fleet management for alerts.
