Abstract:
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), Public Law 95-164 as amended, 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. Further, section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811(a), authorizes the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to develop, promulgate, and revise as may be appropriate, improved mandatory health or safety standards for the protection of life and prevention of injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal mines. MSHA works to prevent death, illness, and injury from mining and to promote safe and healthful workplaces for U.S. miners. Section 115 of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 825, requires MSHA to approve mine operators' health and safety training programs for miners. MSHA administers two grant programs: State Grants and Brookwood-Sago Grants. The grant programs provide training for individuals, miners, employers, and contractors in the recognition, avoidance, and prevention of unsafe and unhealthful working conditions in accordance with section 503 of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 953, and section 14 of the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act), 30 U.S.C. 965. Executive Order 13985 on “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government” emphasizes that the Federal Government’s goal in advancing equity is to provide everyone with the opportunity to reach their full potential. Consistent with these aims, each agency must assess whether, and to what extent, its programs and policies perpetuate systemic barriers to opportunities and benefits for people of color and other underserved groups.
