CHARLESTON, W.Va.—The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration says it’s holding four public hearings next month on two sets of proposed rules.
The agency said Monday the hearings will be held in Colorado, Charleston, Alabama and Virginia during June.
MSHA is taking comment on a proposal that would tighten requirements for examining work areas in underground coal mines. It’s also taking testimony on new standards for determining whether mines are exhibiting a pattern of safety violations.
Mines with too many serious violations can face stricter enforcement.
MSHA says hearings are set for June 2 in Denver, June 7 in Charleston, June 9 in Birmingham, Ala. And June 15 in Arlington, Va.
