| Title: Self-Contained Self-Rescue Devices in Underground Metal and Nonmetal Mines | |
| Abstract: The proposed rule would revise existing standards and add new standards to require certain operators of underground metal and nonmetal mines to make self-contained self-rescue devices (SCSRs) available to miners. SCSRs are emergency breathing units that generate oxygen. Existing MSHA standards require that SCSRs be available for emergencies at all underground coal mines. MSHA expects that this proposed rule would affect fewer than 20 metal and nonmetal mines where methane has been detected. | |
