MSHA Powered-Haulage Regulations: All You Need to Know
Keeping up to date with new requirements and safety procedures is an essential part of keeping mines safe. In fact, MSHA training programs include retraining on at least an annual basis to ensure that regulations are being followed and that equipment is being used correctly. Last year saw the highest rate of fatalities as a result of powered haulage equipment since 2006. MSHA stepped in to assess why this was happening and put new regulations in place to keep mine workers safe.
