PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 BACKGROUND

The mission of the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is to administer the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response (MINER) Act of 2006.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration’s (MSHA) Mine Safety and Health Enforcement operate Office and Field offices throughout the United States for the United States (US) Department of Labor (DOL).

It is necessary for inspectors to wear protective coveralls in order to help prevent accidents caused by loose clothing getting caught in mining equipment as well as protecting them from dirt and rocks found in the mining areas. Incorporating reflective stripes affords the inspector an increased degree of protection from underground haulage or transport vehicles and mining equipment in dark or dimly lit areas of underground mines.

Six different types of coveralls are needed: 1) standard coveralls; 2) two piece; 3) bib coveralls; 4) insulated coveralls; 5) fire resistant coveralls; and 6) light weight coveralls.
