Mining safety whip is a warning light widely used in mine.It is installed on the small mine vehicles or trucks to make it visible in the dark environment,in case of accident.Basically a mining whip or called buggy whip includes top LED light,reflective flag,flagpole pole and a heavy duty spring.To make it brighter some are wrapped with high density LED that is full LED whip.Besides mine trucks,you also may see safety whip on off-road vehicles.But it is hardly to see such a LED light on the most common car on the road.So why do mine vehicles have such a flag?
Let’s have a brief understanding of the mine environment.In a common perception,mines usually are in remote mountainous areas with harsh weather.There is full of dust and harmful chemical in the are,leading to the poor visibility.
Mining is considered one of the major sources of air pollution in the world.In fact, issues such as the disposal of toxic metals in mining or the waste generated by mining activities play an important role in this ranking.However, the environmental impact of mining on air quality has also led to it.The pollutants produced are Particulate matter (total suspended particulate matter - TSP-, PM10, PM2.5, etc.);Gaseous emissions, such as CO2, Colorado, no 2 or SO2;Aerosols (usually derived from hydrometallurgical processes).
located in Utah, USA,is the biggest mine all over the world.The annual production of this deepest open-pit mine is 186,800t Cu, 234,700oz Au(in 2019).In the process of mine development, the mine also releases millions of pounds of arsenic, lead, selenium, mercury and other toxic chemicals each year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Substances Release Inventory (TRI).
In the mines there is mostly heavy equipment and the vehicles are very huge.That is because to deal with heavy loads and harsh working conditions,a large capacity engine is necessary, especially in some mines where the terrain is quite challenging and more dependent on heavy equipment.
How big can these vehicles be? Just looking at the pictures, you can't imagine how huge they are. These vehicles are as tall as a three-story building.Just the wheel of big equipment may be taller than an adult. These large trucks sometimes also carry mine products on the highway to destination.
The common kinds of heavy equipment they are dump truck,underground rock drill vehicle,scraper,bucket wheel excavator,large dozer, dragline, crane, manhauler,excavator and so on.When a small truck run in the mines,if there is not any warning signals it is probably ignored and collided with heavy equipment,causing mine accidents.That is why a vehicle needs to be installed with warning whip.That is a signal to the huge vehicle,here is a truck do not smash.
Mining sites require vehicles that accord with government standards to reduce the risk of any accidents and injuries that cost loss. Mining often requires travel to and from the site, as well as transportation of machinery and equipment. Due to harsh field conditions such as unstable terrain, unpredictable weather and possible fire risks, vehicles must be properly equipped to optimally withstand bad weather. Mining standard vehicles are adaptable, versatile and capable of operating in most mining environments.
U. S. Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration Educational Field and Small Mine Services has the regulation that all the working in mine shall be provided with illumination.And Defects on self-propelled mobile equipment affecting safety, which are not corrected immediately, shall be reported to and recorded by the mine operator.This includes illumination of Taillights and Headlights on mobile equipment being used.
In Canada,also known as a traffic management plan or traffic control plan/program, TMP is a collection of control measures, measures and procedures designed to clearly control motor vehicle traffic in a mine and prevent collisions and injuries to workers and pedestrians. It outline the control measures that need to be taken under normal and abnormal traffic conditions.TMP must include specially designed measures and procedures to revent collisions that could endanger the health and safety of workers by addressing hazards associated with reduced visibility.And protect the health and safety of workers and pedestrians who may be endangered by the movement of motor vehicles, including motor vehicles on tracks.Ensure that motor vehicles have adequate lighting, clean windows, and clean mirrors, and maintain these to provide unobstructed visibility (section 105).Ensure that the workplace is efficiently lit or illuminated when needed.
In Western Australia (WA), mining standard vehicles must be equipped with features such as flashing beacons, warning signals and appropriate seating. Some mines may require additional features to improve workplace safety.
It can be concluded that the existence of mining safety flagpole is very necessary. Mine always exists in rugged terrain.In such a harsh environment, if people want to work safely it must be equipped with the protection of warning whips. At the same time, there are a variety of large and small equipment in the huge mine sites. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the mine, the existence of mining safety whips also is necessary. Large vehicles, with their huge size, pose a threat to small vehicles when driving in the mine. Taking into account the various safety hazards existing in the mine environment, the government has made a series of regulations to reduce the possibility of safety accidents, so as to ensure personal and property safety and reduce the possibility of accidents.

To support the long pole a heavy duty spring base is necessary.To be suitable for different length and thickness whip we customize spring at different size like diameter in 4mm,5mm,6mm,7mm,8mm.When mining safety whip is off work the spring allows whip to be bent for storage.Besides,usually the connection way of whips to vehicle is screwing off since it is threaded.Of course if users want to be more convenient to install and dismount mining whip Norwayho provides quick release base option.
Another very important component in mining safety whip is reflective flag.With bright-colored design it is quite a necessary warning signal in mine sites.Norwayho’s flag is bright PVC material with yellow or slivery reflective tape.The design of tape could be different according to customers’ needs.Since area of mine sites are all over the world some is hot weather and some is cold,we provide several kinds of flags of different material.One is bright enough to be seen in mine sites,one could withstand super hot or cold environment.
