1219-AB91 202204 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1219 Mine Safety and Health Administration MSHA 1200 Department of Labor DOL Safety Program for Surface Mobile Equipment

MSHA would require mine operators to establish a written safety program for mobile equipment and powered haulage equipment (except belt conveyors) used at surface mines and surface areas of underground mines. Under this proposal, mine operators would be required to assess hazards and risks and identify actions to reduce accidents related to surface mobile equipment. The operators would have flexibility to develop and implement a safety program that would work best for their mining conditions and operations. This proposed rule would reduce fatal and nonfatal injuries involving surface mobile equipment used at mines and improve miner safety and health.
