Powered Haulage Safety Powered Haulage accidents are low- frequency, high-consequence events • 50% of fatalities in 2017 • 46% of fatalities so far in 2018 • 5 fatalities in 2019 – two are powered haulage Preventing these accidents is a priority for MSHA! Focus on mobile equipment, seatbelts and conveyor systems 17 MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA

Powered Haulage Safety Outreach MSHA is distributing stickers, brochures and more to spread the word @USDOL MSHA.GOV 18 | MSHA.GOV | @MSHA_DOL #MSHA

Mobile Equipment Large vehicles striking other vehicles or pedestrians have killed 4 miners since January 2017; at least 24 since 2003 19 MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA

20 MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA

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 MSHA.GOV | 21 MSHA.GOV | @MSHA_DOL @USDOL #MSHA

Two seatbelt fatalities in one week October 19, 2018: 63-yr-old operator lost control of his haul truck while descending 18% grade, drove through berm; no seatbelt used October 25, 2018: 29-yr-old driver died when pick- up flipped after climbing a berm; no seatbelt used MSHA.GOV | 22 MSHA.GOV | @MSHA_DOL @USDOL #MSHA

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 23 MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA

Powered Haulage Safety Ideas • Seeking your ideas to prevent these accidents from occurring • www.msha.gov/poweredhaulage • A powered haulage safety plan? 24 MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA

Fire Suppression Failures • Four mobile equipment fires in September 2018 (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 25 MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA

Scofflaw Initiative • Small share of operators are chronically delinquent and have poor safety records • Monthly selection of the worst violators • Payment plans proposed/established with total commitment of $5.5 million • 17 mines paid in full for $1.5 million • 38 104(a) citations issued; 16 104(b) orders issued; all but 3 operations are now open MSHA.GOV | @MSHA_DOL
