Case Study: In 2008, a cement handler at a surface cement plant and quarry was fatally injured when he fell through an open hatch on a barge. He was attempting to cover a dust collection hatch with a tarp when he fell 20 feet onto the barge floor below. He was not wearing any fall protection equipment while working near the open hatch. A policy to require fall protection when working near open hatches could have prevented this fatality.
Governing Regulations
The MSHA PPE standard is detailed in 30 CFR Parts 56 and 57. Part 46 personal protective equipment topics are specific to surface mining PPE.
TO BE MSHA COMPLIANT YOUR COMPANY MUST HAVE A TRAINING PLAN THAT IS APPROVED BY MSHA AND ADMINISTERED BY A COMPETENT PERSON. YOUR COMPANY CAN USE THIS OR ANY OF OUR COURSES AS PART OF THAT PLAN.
IT IS YOUR COMPANYS RESPONSIBILITY to Record and certify that each miner has received training required under this part on MSHA Form 5000-23, or on a form that contains the information listed in paragraph (b) of 30 CFR § 46.9.
