Re: Stay in the cab !
Hi, B100 Loader.
That is VERY good advice right there. For some years now there have been some research projects done on fitting machines working on live stockplies with window glass strong enough to withstand the pressure of being buried several metres deep under coal, iron ore, etc..
While I was working at Mount Goldsworthy iron ore mine in Western Australia in 1968, we had an incident where a train loader got impatient and tried to speed things up by opening another chute on the conveyor without telling us on the stockpile dozers. Net result - one dozer down in a hole. Fortunately, there was no injury and no damage as it was only about 3 metres deep but THAT is not the point. The point was lack of communication and procedures not being adhered to.
Just my 0.02.
