        <RULE_TITLE>Proximity Detection Systems for Mobile Machines in Underground Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA will develop a proposed rule to address the hazards that miners face when working near mobile equipment in underground mines.  MSHA has concluded, from investigations or accidents involving mobile equipment and other reports, that action is needed to protect miner safety.  Mobile equipment can pin, crush, or strike a miner working near the equipment.  Proximity detection technology can prevent these types of accidents.  The proposed rule would strengthen the protection for underground miners by reducing the potential of pinning, crushing, or striking hazards associated with working close to mobile equipment.  As part of the Secretary's strategy for securing safe and healthy workplaces, the OSHA will also undertake regulatory action related to reducing injuries and fatalities to workers in close proximity to moving equipment and vehicles.]]></ABSTRACT>
