This book was released on 2018-11-10 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pattern of Violations (US Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulation) (MSHA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Pattern of Violations (US Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulation) (MSHA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is revising the Agency's existing regulation for pattern of violations (POV). MSHA has determined that the existing regulation does not adequately achieve the intent of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) that the POV provision be used to address mine operators who have demonstrated a disregard for the health and safety of miners. Congress included the POV provision in the Mine Act so that mine operators would manage health and safety conditions at mines and find and fix the root causes of significant and substantial (S&S) violations, protecting the health and safety of miners. The final rule simplifies the existing POV criteria, improves consistency in applying the POV criteria, and more effectively achieves the Mine Act's statutory intent. It also encourages chronic safety violators to comply with the Mine Act and MSHA's health and safety standards. This book contains: - The complete text of the Pattern of Violations (US Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulation) (MSHA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

Book excerpt: Examinations of Work Areas in Underground Coal Mines for Violations of Mandatory Health or Safety Standards (US Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulation) (MSHA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Examinations of Work Areas in Underground Coal Mines for Violations of Mandatory Health or Safety Standards (US Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulation) (MSHA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is revising its requirements for preshift, supplemental, on-shift, and weekly examinations of underground coal mines to require operators to identify violations of health or safety standards related to ventilation, methane, roof control, combustible materials, rock dust, other safeguards, and guarding, as listed in the final rule. Violations of these standards create unsafe conditions for underground coal miners. The final rule also requires that the mine operator record and correct violations of the nine safety and health standards found during these examinations. It also requires that the operator review with mine examiners on a quarterly basis all citations and orders issued in areas where preshift, supplemental, on-shift, and weekly examinations are required. The final rule will increase the identification and correction of unsafe conditions in mines earlier, and improve protection for miners in underground coal mines.

Download or read book Data Mining Mining Data written by Thomas J. Kniesner and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of industrial safety regulations, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in particular, often find little effect on worker safety. Critics of the regulatory approach argue that safety standards have little to do with industrial injuries, and defenders of the regulatory approach cite infrequent inspections and low fines for violating safety standards. We use recently assembled data from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) concerning underground coal mine production, safety inspections, and workplace injuries to shed new light on the regulatory approach to workplace safety. Because all underground coal mines are inspected at least once per quarter, MSHA regulations will not be ineffective because of infrequent inspections. We estimate over 200 different specifications of dynamic mine safety production functions, including ones using deliberately upward biased estimators, and cherry pick the most favorable mine safety effect estimates. Although most estimates are of insignificant MSHA effects, we select the single regression specification producing the most favorable MSHA impact from the agency viewpoint, which we then use in a policy evaluation. We address the question of whether it would be cost-effective to move some of MSHA's enforcement budget into alternative programs that could also improve the health of the typical miner. Even using cherry-picked results most favorable to the agency, MSHA is not cost effective at its current levels. Even though MSHA is a small program when judged against others like OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), MSHA's targeted public health objective could be much better served (almost 700,000 life years gained on balance for miners) if a quarter of MSHA's enforcement budget were reallocated to other programs such as more heart disease screening or defibrillators at worksites.
Download or read book To Punish or Persuade written by John Braithwaite and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1985-06-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In To Punish or Persuade, John Braithwaite declares that coal mine disasters are usually the result of corporate crime. He surveys 39 coal mine disasters from around the world, including 19 in the United States since 1960, and concludes that mine fatalities are usually not caused by human error or the unstoppable forces of nature. He shows that a combination of punitive and educative measures taken against offenders can have substantial effects in reducing injuries to miners. Braithwaite not only develops a model for determining the optimal mix of punishment and persuasion to maximize mine safety, but provides regulatory agencies in general with a model for mixing the two strategies to ensure compliance with the law. To Punish or Persuade looks at coal mine safety in the United States, Great Britain, Australia, France, Belgium, and Japan. It examines closely the five American coal mining companies with the best safety performance in the industry: U.S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Consolidation Coal Company, Island Creek Coal Company, and Old Ben Coal Company. It also takes a look at the safety record of unionized versus non-unionized mines and how safety regulation enforcement impacts productivity.

Independent Assessment Panel and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Following the explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine South, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor, Hilda L. Solis, requested that the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health identify a panel of individuals with relevant experience to conduct an independent assessment of the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Internal Review (MSHA IR) of MSHA enforcement actions at the UBB. Four experts in areas relevant to MSHA's UBB enforcement activities were appointed by the Director to serve as members of an Independent Assessment Panel (IP). In June 2010, the IP met with the MSHA IR Team for the first time. Over the ensuing 18 months, seven conference-call meetings between the IR Team and the IP were help. On February 23, 2012, the MSHA IR Team provided its IR Report to the IP and on March 22, 2012, the Independent Assessment was provided to Secretary Solis. After review the MSHA IR Report in detail, the IP does not take exception to the Report's conclusion that the mine operator, not MSHA, caused the explosion. However, the IP believes that the characterization of the facts underlying this conclusion understates the role that MSHA's enforcement could have had in preventing the explosion. Had the MSHA IR Team considered the causation issues from a broader viewpoint, the IP believes that the Team could have posed, and addressed, the question: would a more effective enforcement effort have prevented the UBB explosion? The IP believes that had the Team addressed this question, it would be in a better position to help MSHA define and prioritize its recommendations and succeed in implementing them." - p. i
