In 2022, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) will continue to focus on powered haulage safety. It is fair to say that powered haulage safety is one of – if not THE – highest priority for MSHA. Out of 36 fatalities reported by MSHA in 2021, 16 were power haulage accidents.
MSHA identified powered haulage safety as a priority back in 2017. In 2018, MSHA launched its Powered Haulage Safety Initiative.” Since that time, MSHA has since devoted considerable resources to enforcement, education, training and outreach on powered haulage safety.
