Abstract:
The reporting and recordkeeping provisions in 30 CFR 50, Notification, Investigation, Reports and Records of Accidents, Injuries and Illnesses, Employment and Coal Production in Mines, are essential elements in MSHA’s statutory mandate to reduce work-related injuries and illnesses among the nation’s miners (30 U.S.C. 801). Part 50 applies to operators of coal, metal, and nonmetal mines. It requires operators to immediately notify MSHA of accidents, investigate accidents and restrict disturbance of accident-related areas. This part also requires operators to file reports with MSHA pertaining to accidents, occupational injuries, and occupational illnesses, as well as employment and coal production data, and requires operators to maintain copies of reports at mine offices. Section 103(d) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813(d), mandates that each accident be investigated by the operator to determine the cause and means of preventing a recurrence. Section 103(h) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813(h), requires operators to keep any records and make any reports that are reasonably necessary for MSHA to perform its duties under the Mine Act. Operators must keep records of such accidents and investigations and make them available to the Secretary or the Secretary’s authorized representative and the appropriate State agency. Section 103(j) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813(j), requires operators to notify MSHA of the occurrence of an accident and to take appropriate measures to preserve any evidence that would assist in the investigation into the causes of the accident.
