Title: Hazard Communication | |
Abstract: Today's complex mining environment subjects miners to well-known hazards, such as coal mine dust and crystalline silica; to emerging hazards, including hazardous wastes burned as fuel supplements at cement kilns; and to changing hazards from the many chemicals brought onto mine property. This rule would provide miners with the means to receive necessary information on the hazards of chemicals to which they are exposed and the actions necessary to protect them from such hazards. In developing this rule, MSHA has reviewed OSHA's hazard communication standard, information collected by NIOSH, and public comments. For its final rule, MSHA intends to publish a user-friendly regulation which will facilitate compliance by mine operators, while providing increased health and safety protection to miners. | |
