Title: ●Observation of Operator Noise Monitoring
Abstract: Section 62.120(f) of MSHA's comprehensive proposed rule on occupational noise exposure would require operators to establish a system of monitoring which effectively evaluates each miner's noise exposure. Consistent with the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) and in response to comments MSHA intends to publish a supplemental noise proposal to include a new provision providing affected miners and their representatives with an opportunity to observe this monitoring. ^PSection 103(c) of the Mine Act requires, among other things, that when the Secretary issues regulations requiring operator monitoring, "such regulations shall provide the miners or their representatives with an opportunity to observe such monitoring or measuring, and to have access to the records thereof." The supplemental noise proposal would implement section 103(c) of the Mine Act.
