DOL/MSHA RIN: 1219-AA47 Publication ID: Fall 2000 
Title: Hazard Communication 
Abstract: Today's complex mining environment subjects miners to many hazards such as from wastes burned as fuel supplements at cement kilns and from the many chemicals brought onto mine property. The rule as proposed would provide miners with the means to receive necessary information on the hazards of chemicals to which they are exposed and the actions necessary to protect them from such hazards. It would be consistent with OSHA's rule to the extent appropriate.
