Unloading a dump truck can be a hazardous operation, particularly when the ground is uneven or when the load is being delivered into a pit. This is a common scenario at mining sites. Moreover, dump trucks loaded with coal can face even higher risks because the load can be wet, freeze in the bed, and stick in the bed.

Coal is an extremely brittle mineral, and both the extraction and refinement processes produce a fine powder known as coal dust. Coal is deliberately pulverized for use as fossil fuel, and this process also produces a substantial output of coal dust. Finally, mining, transportation and even the mechanical handling of coal can create coal dust.
