Title: Surface Haulage | |
Abstract: Accidents involving surface haulage equipment are a leading safety problem in the mining industry. A review of fatal mining accidents during the past 3 years shows that 30% of the deaths involved surface haulage equipment. This equipment includes large 240-ton haulage vehicles, over-the-road trucks, front-end loaders, and other equipment. Causes of surface haulage accidents include brake failures, unsafe grades, overloaded vehicles, and "blind spots." | |
