Install additional lighting near barrier gates.<\/li><li>Conduct thorough travelway examinations to identify and mitigate hazards.<\/li><li>Establish safe traffic patterns with proper signage.<\/li><li>Be alert to road conditions and always keep a clear line of sight.<\/li><li>Maintain proper speed for road conditions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement came just days after the industry marked its eighth death; it occurred April 19 at Frontera Materials in Hidalgo, Texas. That event involved a miner that stopped his haul truck in front of his personal vehicle to get his lunch. While standing and eating his lunch, the haul truck rolled forward, pinning the miner between the haul truck and his personal truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was also classified by MSHA as a Powered Haulage fatality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MSHA recommends the following best practices to avoid this type of accident:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do not leave mobile equipment unattended unless the controls are placed in the park position and the brake is set. NEVER use a steering column-mounted \u201cdump brake\u201d for parking.<\/li><li>When parking mobile equipment on a grade, chock the wheels or turn them into a bank. Maintain equipment braking systems in good repair and adjustment.<\/li><li>Position yourself in a safe location away from potential \u201cdanger-zone\u201d areas.<\/li><li>Train miners to safely perform their tasks.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mine Safety and Health Administration reported that on April 22, a miner at Broadfoot Pit #2, Buffalo, Neb., was fatally injured when leaving the mine site in his personal pickup truck.
