Title: Surge and Storage Piles 
Abstract: MSHA has documented a number of fatalities and injuries involving miners operating vehicles and equipment on surface coal surge piles. The current standard only prohibits persons from walking or standing on or around surge or storage piles where a hazard may exist. We are considering rulemaking to expand the existing standard to address vehicles and equipment.
