Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) Inspections

ABOUT MSHA REGULATION

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is a division of the United States Department of Labor, whose mission is to eliminate fatalities, reduce frequency of injuries, minimize hazards to health and improve health and safety conditions in the country’s mines.

Under MSHA regulations, an MSHA inspector is required to inspect every underground mine four times a year, and surface mines twice a hear in order to establish property safety and health compliance. Mines containing high levels of toxic or explosive gasses are often inspected with more frequency, and inspections are also conducted when complaints of hazardous conditions are filed. Passing of these inspections is required for mines to remain operable.
