The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has reviewed the Mine Safety and
Health Administration (MSHA) proposed rule (PR) Proximity Detection Systems for Mobile Machines
in Underground Mines published in the Federal Register on September 2, 2015 [80 FR 53070]. As
noted in the PR, NIOSH maintains and updates a web page describing research on proximity detection
systems and technology: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/topics/ProximityDetection.html . NIOSH
continues to conduct research to improve the performance of proximity detection systems to prevent
injuries involving powered machinery in mines. NIOSH supports the MSHA effort to reduce potential
pinning, crushing, or striking accidents in underground coal mines and offers the following comments.
Page 53071: "MSIIA has evaluated all accident reports involving coal hauling machines and scoops
between 1984 and 2014. MSHA has determined that a proximity detection system could have
prevented 42 fatalities and 179 injuries resulting from these accidents that occurred on the working
section."
Comment: NIOSH agrees that proximity detection systems could prevent fatalities and injuries.
NIOSH analyzed the causes of fatalities reported to MSHA (http://www.msha.gov/fatals/coal/2015/) for
the five-year period 2009-2013 [Burgess-Limerick and Steiner 2015]. Twenty-two of the 84 fatalities in
underground coal mines and two of the 15 fatalities in underground metal mines may have benefitted
from a properly designed proximity detection system. Although design or usability of the systems may
differ for different equipment, proximity detection could substantially reduce fatalities and injuries. (The
data are summarized in the appendix to these comments.) Additional analyses are currently being
performed for years 2005 thru 2008 and year 2014.
Page 53074, second column: "MSMA solicits comments on other types of mobile machines that
should be required to be equipped with proximity detection systems. MSFIA specifically solicits
comments on circumstances where it may be appropriate to require loading machines, roof bolting
machines, and feeder breakers to be equipped with a proximity detection system."
Comment: NIOSH research has focused on the use of proximity detection systems on continuous
mining machines (CMMs) and factors influencing their performance in underground coal mines [Jobes
et al. 2011a,b; Carr et al. 2013]. Although few research studies have investigated how these factors may
influence proximity detection systems on other mining equipment including mobile haulage, loading
machines, roof bolting machines and feeder breakers equipment, it is possible that similar issues and
limitations will exist with technologies such as electromagnetic-based proximity detection systems on
these systems. Research is currently being conducted by NIOSH on the application of proximity
detection technologies for different types of underground coal mining equipment that could potentially
benefit from these systems.
Page 53075, first paragraph: "MSHA considers coal hauling machines and scoops to be equipped
with a proximity detection system when the machine-mounted components are installed on the
machine and miners are provided with the miner-wearable components."
Comment: NIOSH recommends specific requirements for these systems, based on criteria prescribed by
MSHA, to be considered the minimum functional requirements of the machine. For example, criteria
could be developed for repeatability and reliability of the systems by establishing baselines for detection
zones and ensuring proper functionality when multiple wearable devices are within a detection zone.
Parameters and examples of practical testing to ensure functionality of proximity detection systems for
CMMs are described in Carr et al. [2014, 2015].

Page 53076, first paragraph: "MSIIA solicits comments on the proposed training for miners who
operate or work near machines equipped with proximity detection systems."
Comment: NIOSH studies have shown an in-depth view of mine workers' perspectives and how their
job tasks and environment could be or are affected when learning to use new technology. Specifically,
gaining an in-depth view of mine workers' perspectives and how their job tasks and environment could
be or are affected and then incorporating that information into training may help to prevent accidents
and injuries that have been labeled as human error in the workplace [Haas and Rost 2015]. Studies of
CMM operators have found that unintended consequences, such as a disruption in situation awareness,
risks, hazards, and decision-making capabilities, can be avoided if human factors considerations are
integrated into each stage of the technology design and implementation process [Horberry et al. 2015;
National Research Counci12013]. These human factors considerations should be part of the operation
training of each specific piece of equipment utilizing proximity detection systems. New task and
equipment training on the function and operation of proximity detection systems are necessary during
implementation. However, further research is needed to determine the most effective training methods,
as well as the possibility of a standardized training method and implementation plan, for all proximity
detection systems. Each piece of equipment needs to have a uniquely prescribed proximity system; the
proximity systems for some types of equipment will be more complex than others. The methods and
amounts of training for each system should be designed specifically for each system and common
platforms established where possible. Formative research utilizing surveys and in-depth interviews will
be conducted by NIOSH with mobile equipment operators, mechanics, and mine management to
investigate risk perceptions related to using and interacting with proximity systems
Page 53076, third column, first paragraph: "MShTA solicits comments on whether the Agency
should require that miners wear reflective material to make them more visible to equipment operators
and, if so, how much and where." Page 53076, second column, last paragraph: "Existing §75.17194(d) requires that each person who goes underground in a coal mine wear a hard hat or hard cap
with a minimum of six square inches of reflecting tape or equivalent paint or material on each side
and back."
Comment: Properly designed reflective material may make miners more visible. The reflective
material type (there are multiple types, each designed for a specific application), amount, and location
that would provide adequate visibility are unknown and further research is needed. Standards currently
exist for making workers more visible through use of reflective materials [ANSI 2010; CSA Group
2014]. Some mines are using these standards as a basis for purchasing reflective clothing for miners;
however, it is unknown if these standards are effective for mining as the mining environment is very
different than the environments used as a basis for developing these standards and workers are near each
other in a confined environment. Further research is needed to determine the type of reflective material,
color, placement, and surface area of material that will enable the reflective material to be effectively
visible to miners. Excessive amounts of reflective materiais could present a safety hazard from excessive
glare to nearby workers. We are not aware that reflective materials have been implicated in mining
accidents; however, we have received several inquiries from miners concerning the extreme glare from
excessive use of reflective materials on clothing.
Page 53076, third column, second paragraph: "MSIIA intends that the proximity detection system
would stop all movement of the machine, such as tramming, conveyor chain movement, and raising
or lowering the bucket of a scoop that could cause the machine to contact a miner. The machine
would remain stopped while any miner is within a programmed stop zone."

Comment: The MSHA PR requires that proximity detection systems would stop all machine movement.
Under the PR, any proximity system incorporating selective shutdown would not be permitted. This
proposed requirement by MSHA would potentially limit the development and application of advanced
technology for selective shutdown features. For example, NIOSH developed intelligent proximity
detection technology that inhibits only machine functions that could cause striking or pinning while
allowing other machine functions to continue [Ducarme et al. 2015]. The MSHA CMM rule is
performance-based and does not require the proximity detection system to stop all machine movement;
it requires only that the proximity system prevent the machine from contact with mine workers. NIOSH
recommends the mobile rule be worded similarly.

Proximity detection systems have been emerging in the mining industry as a useful tool to predict and
prevent collisions between one piece of mobile equipment and another, or between a piece of mobile
equipment and a person. NIOSH developed electromagnetic proximity detection technology about ten
years ago as the Hazardous Area Signaling and Ranging Device (HASARD) [Schiff6auer 2002]. This
system used an electromagnetic field generator to create a magnetic field measurable by a wearable
Personal Alarm Device (PAD). The PAD's measurement of the field strength gives a rough indication of
the distance between the generator and the PAD. Several manufacturers adopted the concepts developed
with HASARD and further refined the technology. Electromagnetic-based systems are now
commercially available to the mining industry. The currently available systems are not capable of
providing the level of protection required in the industry while maintaining the operator's freedom to
efficiently perform the job [Haas and Rost 2015]. To be acceptable to the miners and to avoid false
alarms, a proximity detection system must provide the necessary protection while still allowing normal
operation of the machine. An intelligent system that can make decisions based on situation-specific
conditions is necessary [Carr and DuCarme 2013]. MSHA regulations should enable the mining industry
to develop new technologies and offer protections such as selective shutdown of machine movements
while still providing the safety requirements of a proximity detection system. NIOSH recommends that
the final rule for mobile proximity detection systems be performance-based and require that the
proximity system prevent the machine from contact with mine workers.
Page 53077, first column, last paragraph: "MSHA solicits comments on whether to require a
proximity detection system to cause the machine to slow before causing it to stop and,
if so, what
requirement would be appropriate. MSHA also solicits comments on effective methods or controls,
working in conjunction with the proximity detection system, to protect the on-board operator from
sudden stops. MSHA also requests comments on what types of machine movement the proximity
detection system should stop, beyond movement related to tramming coal hauling machines and
scoops."
Comment: NIOSH field tests of proximity systems on CMMs and input from stakeholders found that
detection range, environmental effects/limitations, detection accuracy, and system repeatability are
considered critical parameters [Carr et al. 2014, 2015]. Current NIOSH research is identifying critical
parameters that impact the performance of mobile proximity systems such as stopping distance and
deceleration rates.
Page 53077, second column, last paragraph: "MSHA solicits comments on how the use of proximity
detection systems and the overlap of protection zones on multiple types of machines operating on the
same working section might affect miners' work positions, such as a continuous mining machine
operator who may need to work close to the continuous mining machine when cutting coal or rock."
Comment: NIOSH will be conducting field evaluations in 2016 on proximity detection system
performance for underground mobile coal haulage equipment. These field evaluations will evaluate
4

proximity systems and show the capabilities of existing systems, as implemented. These tests will
evaluate real-world scenarios such as how a proximity system would have to detect multiple stationary
or moving miners located in the entry or out of sight. Results of these field evaluations will give industry
a better understanding of the parameters needed to protect mine workers using multiple proximity
systems. NIOSH is also investigating this problem with a human systems integration approach similar to
the approach to enhancing mine escape capability suggested in a recent National Academies of Science
Report [National Research Council 2013]. Specific knowledge of tasks performed around all equipment
and the interaction of proximity systems need to be studied to ensure effective design and usability of
the system [Horberry et al. 2015; National Research Counci12013].
Page 53078, first column, last paragraph: "MSHA solicits comments on the proposed requirement
that the proximity detection system provide audible and visual warning signals on miner-wearable
components and a visual warning signal on the mobile machines."
Comment: Underground mobile mining machines pose a difficult safety challenge because their
operators work in close proximity to the machines in very restricted spaces. NIOSH has conducted
research on the development and use of a visual warning system [Sammarco et al. 2012] to generate
several lighting sequence scenarios where human subject tests evaluated their effectiveness using a
computer-based multimedia platform. An unobstructed visual signal is preferable to an audible signal for
providing feedback to miners because a visual signal cannot be obscured by ambient noise. The test
results indicated that a"fast flash" visual warning is the most effective based upon subject preference,
rating, and accuracy of proximity intrusion location identification. This arrangement improved reaction
time by. 35% [Jobes et al. 2013].
Secondly, a warning needs to be associated with a specific location of a hazard; thus, a visual warning
would be more advantageous on the machine than an audible one [Sanders and McCormick 1993].
Additionally, audible warnings may not be effective because of the ambient noise and reactions to visual
signals are generally faster than those to auditory signals [Campbell et al. 2007]. However, the warning
light should be within 30 degrees of the operator's normal line of sight; thus, the efficacy of the visual
warning is dependent on the placement of the wearable component [Sanders and McCormick 1993].
When considering auditory and visual spatial stimulus response situations where the response is directly
related to the stimulus location, reactions to visual signals are generally faster than those for auditory
signals [Lee and Chan 2007]. It should also be noted that a visual warning can often be obscured and
haptic warnings (such as vibration feedback) would be an appropriate part of a redundant warning
system [Campbell et al. 2007].
Page 53078, second column, first paragraph: "MSHA solicits comments on whether requiring
audible warning signals in addition to visual warning signals on the machine would help assure that
miners, including the machine operator, know that a miner is in the warning zone and the machine is
about to stop."
Comment: The benefits of having both an audible and visual warning are unknown, specifically in this
underground mining situation. The audible warning will provide little if any benefit given that it would
be difficult to hear because mine workers wear hearing protection to protect them from the hazardous
noise of the mining environment. Secondly, 25% of mine workers have a severe hearing problem and
80% have a hearing impairment by the time they reach retirement age [NIOSH 2O15]. Lastly, even if
miners could hear the audible warning, there would be no clear benefit compared to a visual warning
given reactions to visual signals are generally faster than those for auditory signals [Lee and Chan

2007]. Therefore, considerations for redundant warning signals may include combinations of visual,
audible and/or haptic signals [Campbell et al. 2007].
Page 53078, second column, first paragraph: "MSHA also solicits comments on whether requiring
the use of a specific visual warning on the machine, e.g., strobe lights, clustered light-emitting diode
(LED) lights, or other types of visual signals, would help assure that the visual warning alerts miners
near the machine, including the machine operator."
Comment: A visual warning on the machine that would ensure high visibility and reliability could help
to alert miners. Visible warnings can be effective and their effectiveness has been quantified [Sammarco
et al. 2012; Jobes et al. 2013; Sanders and McCormick 1993; Lee and Chan 2007]. Reactions to visual
signals are generally faster than those to auditory signals [Campbell et al. 2007] which would help
miners respond faster.
NIOSH recommends that MSHA specify functional performance requirements of the light source and to
not specify a particular lighting technology. For example, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have many
advantages compared to other light sources including a potential service life of up to 50,000 hours, but
only if they are designed properly. An LED could fail in less than one hour if thermal management of
the LED, as mounted in a lighting fixture, is inadequate, or the light output can decrease significantly if
the thermal management is inadequate [Sammarco et al. 20091. Thus, usable service life is an important
performance requirement. Reliability is also an important performance requirement because miners
could be in an unsafe position and unaware that the visual warning is not working. Visibility of the
warning light by miners located at various positions about the machine is important. Flash rate is also an
important functional performance item. A 4 Hertz (Hz) flash rate is most effective. Lastly, color is
important so MSHA should specify the color(s) so that high visibility is enabled and color consistency
exists among various warning systems [Sammarco et al. 2012; Chan and Ng 2009; Wierwille et al.
2006].
Page 53078, second column, second paragraph and third column, first paragraph: Proposed §
75.1733(b)(3) would require that a proximity detection system provide a visual signal on the machine
that indicates the machine-mounted components are functioning properly.... MSHA solicits
comments on the proposed requirement.
Comment: A properly designed visual indication that the visual warning system is functioning properly
on the machine might be of benefit to miners. One example of an improper design would be that of
turning on the visual indication light because electrical power is being supplied to the visual warning
system. This only indicates electrical power is being supplied and does not verify that system's hardware
and software are operating correctly.
Current NIOSH research is investigating the design parameters, including functional components, for
proximity detection systems on mobile haulage equipment that provide optimum protection for
underground workers. Results will determine the requirements of a visual signal to indicate machinemounted functionality.
Page 53079, first column second paragraph: "MSHA requests comments addressing whether
requiring both an audible and visual warning signal is needed to assure that all miners on the
working section know that the machine-mounted component is not functioning properly."

Comment: Visible warnings are effective and their effectiveness has been quantified [Sammarco et al.
2012; Jobes et al. 2013; Sanders and McCormick 1993; Lee and Chan 2007]. Reactions to visual signals
are generally faster than those to auditory signals [Campbell et al. 2007]. The effectiveness of adding
audible warnings to visual warning in a mining environment is unknown. It is logical that audible
warnings may not be effective because of ambient noise in the highly mechanized environment of
underground mining operations where one out of every four miners has a severe hearing problem and
76% of mine workers are exposed to hazardous noise, the highest prevalence of all major industries
[NIOSH 2O15]. Also, NIOSH recommends that MSHA require redundant systems that incorporate two
or more different warning signals; the system should be demonstrated by research that they are effective
under the mining scenarios in which they will be implemented. A visual warning can often be obscured
and haptic warnings (such as vibration feedback) could be an appropriate part of a redundant warning
system [Campbell et al. 2007].
