The purpose of workplace examinations is to identify and correct conditions that may adversely affect miners’ safety or health before miners are hurt. Recent fatalities and other accidents at metal and nonmetal mines suggest that miners would benefit from workplace examinations conducted by experienced and trained examiners. MSHA's rulemaking will is specify recordkeeping requirements that will facilitate correction of hazardous conditions and to alert others at the mine of conditions that may recur or in other ways affect them.
