MSHA partners with mine operators to stop black lung disease



To ensure safety of miners, the Mine Safety and Heath Administration is now partnering with operators and miners to stop black lung disease.

Through this collaboration, MSHA will provide technical assistance to help mines comply with the rule.

It will also serve as a forum where operators can exchange their own practices to get coal dust controls in place.

This is all part of the "End Black Lung" campaign.
