Improving and Eliminating Regulations; Permissible Lamps in Underground Coal Mines
Issued by Labor Department
What the record says
MSHA is removing duplicative requirements for electric cap lamps and other electric lamps in underground coal mines. This provision is being removed from MSHA's regulations because it is a duplicative provision and its removal will not reduce the protections afforded to miners.
