Tomorrow (April 25th) is the last day to let MSHA know that you want their disastrous new workplace exam rule delayed.

You can submit your comment right here.

MSHA has been seeking comments on its proposal to delay the effective date of the metal/non‑metal workplace exam rule “to provide stakeholders training and compliance assistance.”

In order to get the most out of Mine Safety Center’s automatic certificate features, you need to complete information afor each trainee profile, including:
