MSHA could amend policy to add training requirements
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) appears to be readying a new policy that could significantly expand and re-interpret mine operator responsibilities in conducting workplace examinations.
If adopted, the new PPL could change workplace exam practices dramatically and redefine what MSHA considers a violation. The PPL appears to limit who can perform an exam, even while expanding the number of places that must be examined and requiring task training on how to perform exams.
