Proximity Detection Systems for Mobile Machines in Underground Mines

Document Number: 2015-21573

Type: Proposed Rule

Date: 2015-09-02

Agency: Army Department, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is proposing to require underground coal mine operators to equip coal hauling machines and scoops with proximity detection systems. Miners working near these machines face pinning, crushing, and striking hazards that result in accidents involving life threatening injuries and death. The proposal would strengthen protections for miners by reducing the potential for pinning, crushing, or striking accidents in underground coal mines. MSHA is also interested in the application of these proposed requirements to underground metal and nonmetal mines.
