MSHA rules to live by

摘要

Effective March 14, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) implemented "enhanced enforcement" of 13 mandatory metal and nonmetal mine safety standards that have been cited over the years following fatal accidents. The program is called "Rules to Live By." According to Assistant Secretary of Labor Joe Main: "The goal of 'Rules to Live By' is to reduce deaths and injuries from the targeted standards by having mine operators identify and correct all hazardous conditions and to have MSHA enforcement be directed toward confirming that violations related to these conditions are not present at mines."
