SME Webinar August 7: Implementation of Mobile Proximity Detection Systems
[Click image to enlarge]
According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), there were 42 fatalities and 179 non-fatal striking, crushing, or pinning accidents between 1984 and 2014. Equipping mobile machines with proximity detection systems (mobile PDSs) could prevent these human-machine collisions. However, early adoption of this automated technology has proven to be challenging. In this presentation, NIOSH researchers will discuss findings from recent studies that captured the perspectives of mineworkers and leaders at underground coal mines using mobile PDSs. The presentation will include considerations related to implementation, training, PDSs and mining task compatibility, system design, and critical operator errors.
Presentation attendees can expect to learn the following:
• Critical operator errors
• User perspectives of PDSs
• Types of PDSs training mineworkers have received for PDSs
• Factors that influence mineworkers trust in PDSs
• Opportunities to improve safety through system design
• Suggestions to improve the fit between PDSs and mining tasks
• Suggestions to support the safe implementation and use of PDSs
