Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (MSHRC)

The Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (MSHRC) is an independent federal agency that oversees safety regulations in underground and surface coal and mineral mining. It ensures miners' safety by reviewing enforcement actions, citations, and penalties issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). The MSHRC conducts fair hearings for mine operators and miners, helping resolve disputes regarding safety rules and violations. Its role is to promote safe mining practices while providing a neutral forum for resolving disagreements, supporting both regulatory enforcement and miners' rights in the mining industry.
