Book Description
Highlights haulage fatalities that occurred at surface metal and nonmetal operations from January 1989 through December 1993. These surface haulagae fatalities involve equipment such as: haulage trucks, front-end loaders, scrapers, water trucks, forklifts, and pickup trucks.

Book Description
Frequencies of haulage-related accidents in metal and nonmetal surface mines for the years 1988 through 1990 were investigated and compared with those of non-haulage-related accidents. This study was part of the U.S. Bureau of Mines program to improve mining haulage safety. Data were obtained through the U.S. Bureau of Mines Accident Data Analysis (ADA) program. The chi-square test was used to compare frequencies of haulage-related and non-haulage-related accidents for each of the following variables: degree of injury, age, total number of years of mining experience, and shift time. Significance was determined for degree of injury between haulage-related and non-haulage-related accidents. Age of injured did not vary significantly between haulage-related and non-haulage-related accidents, but total number of years of mining experience was found to be significant. Shift time for the accident proved to vary significantly between haulage-and non-haulage-related accidents. Events causing injury for haulage-related accidents were tabulated, and the most frequent determinants of haulage-related accidents were identified. Accident descriptions for both fatalities and permanent disabilities were studied, and the primary causes of these accidents were identified. These findings suggest that haulage-related jobs are among the most dangerous when considering accidents experienced by all workers in the metal and nonmetal surface mining work force.

Book Description
Acquaints the reader with a specific aspect of mining. Discusses surface coal & surface metal & nonmetal haulage safety. Accidents involving haulage trucks & other mobile surface equip. constitute a major safety problem in the mining industry. Surface accidents involving haulage trucks, front-end loaders, pickups, scrappers, & other mobile haulage equip. account for many mining accidents & fatalities. Illustrates the principles of haul road design & maint., braking system inspection & maint., & driver procedures relating to truck runaways. Looks at potential hazards & preventive measures assoc. with surface haulage, & how these hazards can be minimized to equipment operators.

Book Description
This paper attempts to define the hazards associated with mobile powered haulage equipment at surface mines and specifically, truck haulage. Serious risks are created by steep haulroad gradients, mechanical failure of safety features on haulage equipment, dumping at edges of fill and dump locations, "blind-spots, " slick road surfaces and uncontrolled traffic through mine operations. Training programs and vigilance by mine workers, supervisors, mine operators and mine inspectors will ul timately result in safer work places.
