Mining Industry
DOL's Mine Safety and Health Administration works to protect the health and safety of workers in America's mines by administering the federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 and enforcing compliance with mandatory safety and health standards.
Safety and health issues in non-mining workplaces are overseen by DOL's Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
In addition, through its
Working Partners program, DOL provides information on how to establish
drug-free workplace programs that protect worker safety and health.
