Lowering Miners' Exposure to Respirable Coal Mine Dust Including Continuous Personal Dust Monitors (US Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulation) (MSHA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Lowering Miners' Exposure to Respirable Coal Mine Dust Including Continuous Personal Dust Monitors (US Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulation) (MSHA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is revising the Agency's existing standards on miners' occupational exposure to respirable coal mine dust in order to: Lower the existing exposure limits; provide for full-shift sampling; redefine the term "normal production shift"; and add reexamination and decertification requirements for persons certified to sample for dust, and maintain and calibrate sampling devices. In addition, the rule provides for single shift compliance sampling by MSHA inspectors, establishes sampling requirements for mine operators' use of the Continuous Personal Dust Monitor (CPDM), requires operator corrective action on a single, full-shift operator sample, changes the averaging method to determine compliance on operator samples, and expands requirements for medical surveillance of coal miners.
