Disclaimers
MSHA is providing these best practices, methods, lists of equipment, templates and example programs as guidance to assist operators in developing and updating a surface mobile equipment safety program. This guidance is not all inclusive and is for informational purposes. Because each mine has unique conditions and features, each operator is responsible for tailoring its surface mobile equipment safety program to meet its individual mine’s needs. (30 U.S.C. § 952(b))
As part of the agency’s cooperative programs with its Alliance partners, State grantees, and others, MSHA is providing the following mining industry-developed templates as guidance in developing and updating your mine-specific surface mobile equipment safety program. (30 U.S.C. §§ 952(b), 962)
