MSHA 101 - What Do you Mean I'm a Miner
On-Demand Webinar: MSHA 101: "What Do You Mean I'm a Miner"?
The Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) has jurisdiction over a surprisingly large and diverse set of operations – not just your traditional coal and metal mines.

This session will explore where MSHA rules apply, the distinctions between the Mine Act and the Occupational Safety & Health Act in terms of legal principles, and key safety and health takeaways that you will need if you cross into MSHA-land.
