Title: Hazard Communication 
Abstract: Today's complex mining environment subjects miners to many chemical hazards, some created during the mining and milling process and some brought onto mine property. The Hazard Communication rule will provide miners with the means to receive necessary information on the hazards of chemicals to which they may be exposed and the actions necessary to protect themselves from such hazards. The interim Final Rule is to be consistent with OSHA's hazard communication standard rule to the extent practical.
