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." The Agency issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) in July 1998 to share its ideas and to seek suggestions to reduce these surface haulage accidents. MSHA will consider all comments received on the ANPRM in developing the proposed rule. | |
