Course overview
Many types and sizes of vehicles travel on mine haulage roads. These vehicles are operated by drivers who travel these roads on a daily basis, or sometimes for the very first time. To ensure that these drivers have clear direction when to operate their vehicles safely, effective traffic control—most importantly signage—is an essential component of any mining operation. This lesson video covers established safety rules, signs, and signals that provide for the safe movement of self-propelled mobile equipment at the mine site.
