With an increase in fatalities and injuries in 2022, MSHA has announced a new safety campaign, titled, "Take Time, Save Lives." The campaign highlights the resources available which employers can use in their training curriculum. These resources include the following topics:
Powered haulage safety
Roof and rib falls
Fire suppression and prevention
Lockout/tagout
Fatality updates
Coronavirus prevention
As with any MSHA initiative, we can expect this campaign will be on inspectors' minds when they visit your sites. Expect a renewed focus on training records, including task training, annual refresher training, and site-specific hazard awareness training.
