    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.

      there was a rather bad (and documented on video) incident where a guy and his dozer got eaten by one of those drawpoints, which is why these exact safety regulations were implemented, and why breathing apparatus became required. The video of that incident should be on youtube, but cannot recall what it's called

      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.
