What US Federal Mine Safety and Health Act (30 USC ch 22): Mandatory Standards, Inspections and Penalties requires
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. ch. 22) governs the safety and health of workers in coal and other mines, administered by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) within the Department of Labor, with adjudication by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission. Section 801 sets the findings and declaration of purpose, prioritising the protection of the health and safety of miners. Section 802 supplies the definitions, and section 803 sets the mines subject to coverage, reaching every mine whose products enter commerce. Section 811 provides for the development and promulgation of mandatory safety and health standards. Section 813 authorizes regular inspections, investigations and recordkeeping, including the right of miners to request an inspection, and provides for at least four annual inspections of underground mines. Section 814 provides for the issuance of citations and orders, including imminent-danger withdrawal orders, and section 815 sets the procedure for enforcement and contest. Section 818 authorizes injunctions. Section 820 sets the penalties, including mandatory civil penalties for each violation and criminal penalties for willful violations. The Act is the legal foundation of US mine-safety regulation and the strict, inspection-driven enforcement regime for mines.
