• Description:
  Dump-site safety regarding surface mine haulage trucks remains an important issue for future review and investigation to reduce serious injuries. For improving safety at surface mine dump sites, safe work procedures and practices for haulage trucks are encouraged and discussed. The information provided is based on years of experience and informed practice for safe operations at dump sites. NIOSH Information Circular (IC) 9454 identified stationary dumping and backing up as activities associated with more than 90% of serious injuries to haulage truck drivers. Among others, these two activities are highlighted and discussed in the context of important practices and procedures to ensure safe work operations at dump sites. [Description provided by NIOSH]
