MSHA Launches Fire Suppression Safety Initiative

摘要

During a recent quarterly stakeholder call, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) announced a new "Fire Suppression Safety Initiative" (FSS) to ensure that fire suppression systems on mobile equipment are in working order and capable of extinguishing equipment fires. The initiative appears to involve educating operators about FSS, including proper inspections and maintenance, as well as stepping up related enforcement, according to Avi Meyerstein of Husch Blackwell's Technology, Manufacturing & Transportation team.
