1219-AB78 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1219 Mine Safety and Health Administration MSHA 1200 Department of Labor DOL Proximity Detection Systems for Mobile Machines in Underground Mines

Mine Safety and Health Administration (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 of 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.
