Title: Examination of Working Places in Metal and Nonmetal Mines | |
Abstract:
On January 23, 2017, MSHA published a final rule amending the Agency's existing standards for metal and nonmetal working place examinations. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) proposes to amend the Agency’s final rule on examinations of working places in metal and nonmetal mines that was published in January 2017. The proposed changes would require that an examination of the working place be conducted before work begins or as miners begin work in that place, and that the examination record include descriptions of adverse conditions that are not corrected promptly and the dates of corrective action for these conditions. The proposed rule would provide mine operators additional flexibility in managing their safety and health programs and reduce regulatory burdens without reducing the protections afforded miners. |
