MSHA Proposes Changes to Workplace Examination Rules
The US Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) published two proposed rules in the Federal Register that would change the final rule on examinations of working places in metal and nonmetal mines that was published on January 23. The first proposed rule would make limited changes to the final rule, according to MSHA. It would require that an examination of the working place be conducted before work begins or as miners begin work in that place, and that the examination record include descriptions of adverse conditions that are not corrected promptly and the dates of corrective action for these conditions.
