MSHA releases December impact inspection results

By |  January 29, 2014

MSHA says it issued 135 citations, 24 orders and one safeguard during special impact inspections conducted at 11 coal mines and two metal and nonmetal mines in December.

The monthly inspections, which began in force in April 2010, involve mines that merit increased agency attention and enforcement due to their poor compliance history or particular compliance concerns, MSHA says. Since that time it has conducted 700 impact inspections and issued 11,562 citations, 1,076 orders and 49 safeguards.
