  2. Safety Alert! Safety Alert! “STRUCK BY” BEST PRACTICES There has been an alarming upward trend of serious and fatal injuries involving miners who are being crushed, run over, pinned by or struck by moving mining equipment. • Install and maintain electronic proximity detection devices. See the proximity detection single source page on the MSHA website. • Stay out of the red zone when the continuous miner is operating. • Always walk behind mobile equipment. Never walk in front of a shuttle car or scoop. • Sound warnings when starting and tramming equipment, making tight turns, reversing direction, or approaching curtains. • Use transparent curtains wherever possible to enhance visibility. • Install cameras on shuttle cars and ram cars. • Never obstruct visibility by overloading haulage equipment, especially in lower coal seams. • Exercise caution and signal your presence to mobile equipment operators. • Be aware of your surroundings and the travel routes of shuttle cars and scoops, especially when proceeding in by the tailpiece on foot. • Provide miners on foot with small permissible flashing strobe lights that can be clipped to clothing or carried. • Wear reflective clothing to ensure higher visibility when walking or working near moving equipment.
