Mine Injury Fact Sheets |
The Mine Safety and Health Administration has jurisdiction over approximately 2,000 coal mines and 12,800 metal and nonmetal mines nationwide. The Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) mission is to protect the safety and health of the nation's miners under the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act). MSHA's vision is to lead the way to zero accidents and fatalities and to put an end to occupational illness in the mining industry through enforcement of mandatory safety and health standards, mandated inspections which requires four annual inspections at all underground mines, two at all surface mines, and proactive compliance assistance and partnering with the mining community.
