The Mine Safety and Health Administration recently issued several Program Information Bulletins.
A June 18 bulletin notifies mine operators and independent contractors that MSHA on July 1 will begin evaluating the integrity of each required respirable dust sample.
A bulletin reissued on June 16 explains to operators how to record “Sampling Start Time” on the dust data card manufacturers provide with each filter cassette.
