DOL/MSHA | RIN: 1219-AA82 | Publication ID: Fall 1996 |
Title: Single-Shift Sampling Notice | |
Abstract: The Secretaries of Labor and Health and Human Services have issued a joint proposed finding that the average concentration of respirable dust to which each miner is exposed can be measured accurately over a single shift. This joint finding would also rescind their earlier joint finding published in July 1971 and affirmed in February 1972. MSHA believes that enforcement based on single, full-shift samples will enhance mine operators' compliance with the requirement to maintain the average concentration of respirable dust in the mine atmosphere during each shift where miners work or travel at or below the applicable standard. | |
