Hazards of Coal Stockpiling Operations
DVD501 - 1994
This video shows what happens when miners or equipment operators are working on a surge pile and the material unexpectedly collapses, breaks loose, or starts to flow underneath them. The disastrous result of being engulfed in loose material -- suffocation -- is demonstrated by a working model of a surge pile. The model shows how stockpiles with drawholes and feeders work, what takes place within the piles, the properties of flowing materials, and how hazardous conditions can develop at surge piles. Included are action scenes of heavy mobile equipment being used around stockpiles. The video emphasizes recognizing stockpile hazards and preventing stockpile accidents.

its pretty sad that you didn't know about this stuff before stockpiling, your ignorance can get someone killed. You shouldn't be anywhere near a stockpile operation with your lack of intelligence and training my god man.....how pathetic does someone need to be to be in an industry and have no experience? Reduce risk of killing people, get out now before you kill someone

Radar has been around in a usable state since the 1940s, but it may not be so easy/cheap to use in this kind of equipment. It’s cheaper to make safety videos and use cheap methods of warning than to actually value employee safety if you’re a mining operation.
