Cross training inspectors and updating systems to blur the distinction between Coal and Metal/Nonmetal Enforcement where it makes sense; expertise still required for certain mines

Powered Haulage Safety

Powered Haulage accidents are low- frequency, high-consequence events

  • 50% of fatalities in 2017
  • More than 50% of fatalities so far in 2018

Preventing these accidents is a priority for MSHA! Focus on mobile equipment, seatbelts and conveyor systems

Driver saved by wearing a seat belt

Seatbelts Save Lives

  • 3 fatalities

in 2018, 38 fatalities since 2007 involved miners not wearing seat belts

  • 6000 MSHA

citations issued since 2007; enforcement alone not enough

This loader operator saved by wearing seatbelt

Belt Conveyors

  • Seven miners killed working around belt

conveyors since January 2017: four in coal, three in MNM

  • Total of 19 conveyor-related fatalities and

41 conveyor-related permanent injuries since 2008

  • Guarding, lock-out tag-out, properly

using crossovers, all essential for safety

Powered Haulage Safety Ideas

  • Seeking your ideas to prevent these

accidents from occurring

  • Formal Request for Information open for

comments until December 24, 2018, see www.msha.gov/poweredhaulage

  • A powered haulage safety plan?

Fire Suppression Failures

  • Four mobile equipment fires in past month

(two rock trucks, one hydraulic shovel, one excavator)

  • Fire suppression systems failed in all
  • One miner killed, another injured
  • Fire suppression equipment must be

properly installed

  • Miners should have a means to escape

Scofflaw Initiative

  • Small share of operators are chronically

delinquent and have poor safety records

  • Monthly batches of letters to worst violators
  • Payment plans proposed/established with

total commitment of $4.27 million

  • 11 mines paid in full for $1.15 million
  • 33 104(a) citations issued; 12 104(b) orders

issued; all but two operations now open
