Description:
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH) is taking a proactive position by generating functionalsafety recommendations for programmable electronics in mining.The recommendations take the form of a safety framework shapedby industry trends, MSHA accident data, and existing national andinternational standards. We are using a risk-based approach forthe entire system, rather than just software or hardware. Theapproach makes safety a part of the early design, where changesare more effective and less disruptive, compared to implementingsafety measures after many fatalities and injuries have occurred.
