MSHA Announces Proximity Detection/Collision Warning Technology for Mining Industry
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) announced that it has worked with the mining industry to develop potentially life-saving technology that can stop machine motion and/or send a warning signal to the machine operator when it detects a person or object in the machine’s path. Mine operators are increasingly installing these proximity detection/collision warning systems on mining equipment in surface and underground mines to prevent pinning, crushing, or striking accidents.
