Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)

Our new self-audit initiative is designed to help employers, benefits plan administrators, and unions proactively comply with the laws we enforce.

MSHA’s biggest event of the year will help trainers improve work practices and safety programs within the nation’s growing mining industry.

This week, we launched our opinion letter program – a key compliance assistance resource that can help workers and employers navigate real workplace situations.

There are 5 best practices to be safe when working under or near mine roofs and ribs. Mine owners and operators are responsible for the safety and health of miners

OCIO worked collaboratively with the Mine Safety and Health Administration to develop a new tool that provides quick access to health services tailored to miners' unique needs.

In 2023, 16 miners died in incidents caused by a malfunction, improperly maintained or damaged machinery. Learn about best practices to keep miners safe.

Impact inspections are an effective enforcement tool focused on mines that repeatedly violate safety and health standards.

The Miner Safety & Health App helps workers recognize and report hazards and understand mining health risks.

Whether you are driving off-road vehicles, hiking, or walking in national forests or parks—it is never safe to explore an abandoned mine.

On National Whistleblower Day, we thank the courageous people who have spoken out about illegal or unsafe conditions in the workplace.
