Is it permissible to ride in a dipper bucket of mining equipment?

Riding in a dipper bucket of mining equipment is not permissible due to significant safety risks involved. The dipper bucket is designed for transporting materials, not for carrying personnel. Riding in it can expose individuals to extreme hazards, such as falling out, being struck by moving machinery, or becoming trapped due to the mechanical operation of the equipment.

Safety regulations specifically prohibit such actions to protect workers from injury. Proper safety protocols require that personnel use designated access points and safety equipment when operating or moving around heavy machinery. This ensures that the workers are kept safe while the equipment is in use, aligning with best practices in mining operations to minimize injury risk on the job.
