Powered Haulage Safety Initiative Powered Haulage accidents were responsible for 50% of fatalities in recent years; 13 of 27 (48%) in 2018, and 31% so far in 2019. Preventing these accidents is a priority for MSHA, with a focus on: • Mobile Equipment • Belt Conveyors • Seat Belt Safety MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA
View from the Operator’s Cab MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA
Actual Activity on the Ground Large vehicles striking other vehicles or pedestrians have killed 24 miners since 2003 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 MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA
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) • Maintain seatbelts and wear them! Driver saved by wearing a seat belt MSHA.GOV | @MSHA_DOL
Powered Haulage Safety Outreach MSHA is distributing stickers, brochures and more to spread the word www.msha.gov/msha-training-videos MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA
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 MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA
Scofflaw Initiative • Small share of operators are chronically delinquent and have poor safety records; worst violators selected each month • Payment plans proposed/established or operator paid in full with total commitment of almost $6 million • 24 mines paid in full for $1.7 million • 43 104(a) citations issued; 21 104(b) orders issued, but none currently active MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA
In Summary: MSHA Today & Tomorrow • Increased Health Focus • Contractor Fatalities: 9 of 16 in 2019 • Regulatory Review - Respirable Crystalline Silica (Quartz) - Improving Control of Diesel Exhaust - Powered Haulage Safety Programs • Encourage Safety Technology Innovation • Litigation and Workplace Exams MSHA.GOV | @USDOL #MSHA
