MSHA - Mine Safety Rules

Mining sites have their own environment specific or operation specific set of policies and procedures. However, they all have to follow the safety standards set by either the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.
