#MSHA

Reactions from Democrat lawmakers - who will be in control of the House and Senate when MSHA is trying to finalize this rule - is scathing. One is Bobby Scott (VA) other is Morgan McGarvey from my home district of Louisville KY.

UPDATE: We have officially brought on board a new scientific research specialist onto the team.

While her role and duties are expected to evolve in the coming weeks, months, and years, we are pleased to share that she and her referring manager are in good spirits and health.

MSHA inspectors enforce mandatory standards across U.S. mines, addressing ventilation, methane, combustible coal dust, electrical hazards and other dangers. The premise is simple: miners should not have to trade their lungs or their lives for a paycheck. #minesafety #labor

Mine Safety and Health Administration

Federal mine-safety law grew from generations of preventable deaths and disease. The 1969 Coal Act strengthened inspections and confronted black lung; the 1977 Mine Act created MSHA within the Department of Labor and broadened federal oversight—

Bring back the US Bureau of Mines, and put a lot more money into MSHA (and the USGS, frankly). The govt has talked a big game about the green supply chain and critical minerals for the past 20 years, now we need to actually get it done.
Taking a second to dream.

We get tribunals for ICE. We abolish DHS. We get the NPV compact. We enshrine bodily autonomy rights - abortion, transition, everything. M4A. We do the important things.

After that.

What's something on your wishlist, that an energized dem trifecta makes happen?

Thank you. I was trying to recognize the languages and connect the dots but it was beyond me. I have a MSHA part 48 certification that I have renewed yearly for a particular job but don’t mistake me for being a real miner. It has opened my eyes over the years to the very diverse world of this work.

Sand & gravel mines are federally regulated under MSHA, so you tell me.

MSHA is reopening the comment period and scheduling a virtual hearing on its proposed rule about powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) in underground mines.

Today's Federal Register: EPA can't decide how to redistribute a surprise batch of refinery exemptions, the Pentagon calls itself the "Department of War" in a routine advisory committee filing, and MSHA reopens comment on a respirator rule that's already a year old. bureaucracy.news
Federal Register Watch: October 16, 2026
EPA floats two ways to redistribute a surprise glut of refinery exemptions, a White House building gets a Section 106 historic-preservation review, and the Pentagon's old-new name turns up in a routine charter renewal.

Diesel exhaust is classified as a human carcinogen by IARC and in the US by occupational regulators like NIOSH and MSHA. Backup power generators are not required to use clean diesel technology that would scrub carcinogens from the exhaust. FYI.

The first Floyd Lab manuscript has officially hit bioRxiv!! Check it out to learn about how temperature and salinity impact type IV MSHA pili in Vibrio cholerae. Here's hoping for a smooth review process 😜

In 2024, the Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) issued 94,000 citations nationwide. In 2025, that number was reduced to under 8,000 citations.

He also joined in a letter asking MSHA to put a hold on their rule limiting coal miner’s exposure to silica dust, while research shows that rates of black lung have reached a 50- year high after years of decline.

He also insists that government regulation is not necessary because they have a profit motivation to produce a safe product.

I guess we can abolish the FDA, FAA, OSHA, MSHA, NTSB and the EPA, profit motives will fix everything.
