Powered Haulage Safety Initiative

Powered Haulage accidents were responsible for 50% of fatalities in recent years; 13 of 27 (48%) in 2018 Preventing these accidents is a priority for MSHA, with a focus on:

  • Mobile Equipment
  • Belt Conveyors
  • Seat Belt Safety

MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA

Belt Conveyors

  • Seven miners killed working around belt

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

  • Since 2008, 19 fatalities and more than 40

permanent injuries

  • Guarding, lock-out tag-out, properly using

crossovers - all essential for safety

Seat Belt Safety

  • Three fatalities in

2017 and 2018, and 38 fatalities since 2007, involved miners not wearing seat belts

  • 6000+ MSHA citations

issued for failure to wear seatbelts since 2007 (most in MNM mines) MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA

Fire Suppression Failures

  • In 2018, four mobile equipment fires in one

month; 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
  • MSHA has inspected mine mobile

equipment for effective suppression systems

One MSHA Initiative

  • Blurring the distinction between Coal and

Metal/Nonmetal enforcement for more efficient use of resources

  • Cross training inspectors and updating systems to

accommodate change where it makes sense

  • Inspector expertise still required for certain mines
  • Moving to Phase 2 with an additional 117 mines

23

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Scofflaw Initiative

  • Small share of operators are chronically

delinquent and have poor safety records; worst violators selected each month

  • Payment plans proposed/established or
  • perator paid in full with total commitment of

$7.1 million

  • 24 mines paid in full for $1.7 million
  • 43 104(a) citations issued; 21 104(b) orders

issued, but none currently active
