Description
This is a training course for all mine personnel involved in underground mining.
It provides knowledge of specific hazards associated with powered haulage in underground mining, including identification of potentially hazardous situations, appropriate behavior around transportation, interpretation of transportation signage, and safety checks prior to operation of transportation.
While the mandates of the mining regulatory agencies are law in the US, they are also comprehensive enough to be considered best practice for mining in countries throughout the world.
The author is a Certified Mine Safety Professional as well as an MSHA Certified Instructor for both surface and underground. This course material was developed originally for the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and is compliant with MSHA regulations.
