Safety
  
Since 2018, there have been seven fatalities involving miners operating personnel carriers. These accidents could have been prevented if mine operators: 1) had adequate procedures in place to ensure safe travel of personnel carriers, 2) maintained braking systems, and 3) trained miners on the safe operation of personnel carriers. Download the Mine Safety and Health Administration's new Safety Alert for more information.
