Title: Safety Standards for the Use of Roof-Bolting Machines 
Abstract: We believe that the current design of some roof-bolting machines may contribute to or cause accidents during drilling and roof-bolt installation procedures. Accident and fatality information points to the need to modify the design of such machines and take additional precautions in their use. We will explore both regulatory and non-regulatory ways to eliminate or reduce these hazards.
