CORESafety TV (April 2022): The Safety Benefits of Using Proximity Detection Systems on Powered Haulage
Welcome to the April edition of CORESafety TV — the online video program from the National Mining Association.
Powered haulage accidents continue to be a serious concern in mining operations, but the increased attention that’s being placed on training and awareness is hopefully making a difference.
Technological advancements such as proximity detection are also helping to keep miners safer when working around continuous miners, battery haulage, scoops and other machines.
Peabody is a CORESafety-certified company that is making proximity detection a top priority.
This month on CORESafety TV, we learn more about this from Donald C. Kincannon, the maintenance manager at Peabody’s Gateway North Mine in Coulterville, Illinois.
Also this month, we take a look at CORESafety’s Module #4 – Fatality Prevention and Risk Management.
