A: Under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act, MSHA must inspect every underground mine in full at least four times a year and every surface mine at least twice a year. Mines can also receive spot inspections and inspections after complaints or accidents.
A: Mining in the US is regulated by MSHA (the Mine Safety and Health Administration) under the Mine Act, not by OSHA. MSHA sets and enforces safety and health standards for mines and mills in Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations; OSHA covers related activities that fall outside MSHA's jurisdiction.
