Where should miners avoid getting on or off man-trip cars?

Miners should avoid getting on or off man-trip cars on the same side as the trolley unless protection is present because this situation presents significant safety risks. The trolley carries electrical lines, and getting on or off in this area increases the likelihood of electrical shock or injury from a moving trolley. Protection could entail barriers or safety protocols that minimize exposure to these hazards, but without such measures, it is imperative for miners to avoid that side.

The focus on safety around machinery is critical in mining operations, where the risk of injuries from contact with moving parts is high. Proper training emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe distance from electrical or mechanical components during boarding and disembarking procedures.
