CSA Preface 

This is the first edition of CSA M424.0, Underground mining mobile equipment – General requirements, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 19296 (first edition, 2018-11), Mining – Mobile machines working underground – Machine safety. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CSA M424.0 throughout. This Standard is part of the CSA M424 series of Standards on underground mining mobile equipment. It is intended to be used in conjunction with additional CSA M424 Standards, as applicable. CSA group acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial assistance of CanmetMINING, Lands and Minerals Sector, a department of Natural Resources Canada. 

This Standard was developed by CSA Group with funding support provided by the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labour Law – Occupational Safety and Health (CAALL-OSH), including provincial and territorial governments, as well as the Government of Canada. CSA Group is solely responsible for the content of this Standard, and CSA Group and the funding bodies disclaim any liability in connection with the use of the information contained herein. 

This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Subcommittee on Underground Mining Mobile Equipment – General Requirements, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Underground Mining Mobile Equipment and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. 

Scope 

This document specifies the safety requirements for self-propelled mobile machines used in underground mining, as defined in 3.1. This document deals with hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events (see Annex B) relevant to these machines when they are used as intended or under conditions of misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. For utility/service/support machines, this document only includes provisions to address the risks associated with the mobility (movement of the whole machine from one location to another). Risks for the additional functions (e.g. scaling, concrete spraying, bolting, charging, drilling, attachments) are not covered in this document. This document specifies the appropriate technical measures for eliminating or sufficiently reducing risks arising from hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events during commissioning, operation and maintenance. 

This document does not address: 

– the additional risks for machines operating in potentially explosive atmospheres; 

– air quality and engine emissions. 

This document is not applicable to: 

– machines constrained to operate by rails; 

– continuous miners, roadheaders, drill rigs, conveyors, long wall production equipment, tunnel boring machines (TBM), and mobile crushers.
