Belt Cleanup
Old Way: | Belt cleanup is usually done using a shovel and a great deal of manual effort. This exposes the miner to repeated bending and twisting of the trunk and lifting hazards. |
New Way: | In some cases, it may be just as effective to clean up the coal spillage using water pressure. This will reduce the worker's exposure to hazardous lifting motions. |
