In a time of uncertainty within the federal government, mine operators can continue to expect regular MSHA inspections. MSHA is statutorily required to inspect all surface mines twice per year and all underground mines four times per year. That won’t change despite other major changes that may occur within federal agencies. With that in mind, this month’s episode of Mining Matters goes back to basics and discusses how mine operators can best position themselves for successful MSHA inspections. Arthur and Chris offer an explanation of key legal concepts that come into play during inspections and practical pointers that come from years of experience.
