  are key elements in haulage safety.

6
Transportation controls Communication systems

• Effective communications are a critical component
  of safety in any operation.

  communications must be understood by all of the
  personnel involved.

7
Ground control, highwalls, pits, stock piles and
spoil banks

• Inspect your work area and be alert to any
  changes in the highwall or stock pile.

  of mining effect highwall and stock pile
  stability.

  precautions must be taken when working near water
  hazards.

9
Water hazards and night work

• Due to decreased visibility at night, special
  precautions must be taken.

  to the visibility present with increased
  awareness around dumping/loading points.

10
Electrical hazards

• What electrical equipment do you have at your
  work place?
• Only qualified persons should perform electrical
  work.
• Lock-out/tag-out policy

  energy and know how to control them.

11
Prevention of accidents

• Hand tool safety
• Fall Protection
• Confined space
• Material handling
• Equipment Guarding

TO PREVENTABLE ACCIDENT
12
Hand tool safety

• Use the right tool for the job and make sure it
  is the right size for the job.
• Keep tools in good condition. A clean, sharp
  tool is a safe tool when used properly.
• Learn the correct way to use a tool. Use tools
  only as they are designed.
• There is typically only one right (and safe) way
  to use the tool.

13
Hand tool safety

• Portable Power Tools
• Pre-plan a power tool project, including the
  moves your hands will make and any special
  precautions which should be taken.
• Do Not use a tool until you have been properly
  trained to do so.
• Know the tool you are using, including its
  application, limitations and potential hazards.

14
Fall Protection

• What is a fall?
• What is fall protection?
• When do you need it?
• What about ladders?

15
Fall Protection

• Personal Fall Arrest Systems

16
Confined Space

• Limited entry and exit
• Large enough and so configured to enter and
  perform work
• Not designed for continuous human occupancy.

• Potentially hazardous atmosphere
• Potential for engulfment
• Tapers to a smaller cross section
• Any other recognized serious health or safety
  hazard

17
Material handling

• Material handling results in a high percentage of
  injuries.
• Injuries are most common to the hands and back.
• Do not lift more than you are capable of.
• Use mechanical means to lift when possible

18
