16 Απρ 2024 · WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor announced today that its Mine Safety and Health Administration has issued a final rule to better protect the nation’s miners from health hazards associated with exposure to respirable crystalline silica, also known as silica dust or quartz dust.
18 Ιουν 2024 · After a years-long rule-making process at the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), coal mines will have to keep workers safe from silica dust by lowering exposures from 100 micrograms to 50 micrograms over an 8-hour work shift.
The final rule lowers the permissible exposure limit of respirable crystalline silica to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air for a full-shift exposure, calculated as an eight-hour, time-weighted average. If a miner’s exposure exceeds the limit, the final rule requires mine operators to take immediate corrective actions to come into compliance.
