The Mine Safety and Health Research Advisory Committee

The Mine Safety and Health Research Advisory Committee is a group established to advise the Department of Labor on research efforts aimed at improving safety and health in the mining industry. Comprising experts from various fields, the committee reviews ongoing research, identifies safety challenges, and suggests priorities to develop better practices, equipment, and regulations. Its goal is to reduce mine-related accidents, injuries, and illnesses by ensuring research effectively addresses real hazards miners face. This collaboration helps inform policies and innovations that protect miners and promote safer mining environments.
