The Regulator has released a compliance report on proximity awareness and collision avoidance in open cut coal mines.
It is based on inspections of 29 surface coal mines or handling facilities and summarises controls for vehicle interaction hazards and engineering solutions, as well as operators’ legal responsibilities to maintain a safe workplace.
The report identifies several third party and OEM collision avoidance and proximity detection systems trialled by mine operators, as well as a wide range of controls, to minimise risk on site.
