Best Practices Load equipment in a manner that does not create a hazard to miners from falling or shifting equipment. Ensure work areas are clear and that miners position themselves away from potential hazards, including potential pinch points, when moving or positioning equipment. Ensure miners communicate their presence and intended movements when working near mobile equipment and that they wait for acknowledgment before moving. Ensure miners always give a warning prior to moving equipment. Train all miners in the safe performance of tasks. Miners and mine operators can find safety and health information on MSHA.gov.
