Regulatory
Electrical Equipment for Coal Seams Above the Water Table
Issued by Labor Department
What the record says
MSHA is removing requirements for the use of permissible electric face equipment in coal seams above the water table. These requirements are being removed from MSHA's regulations because all coal mines are now considered gassy, regardless of location relative to the water table.
