title: Between a rock and a healthy place.
abstract: The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 consolidated all federal health and safety regulations of the mining industry-coal as well as noncoal mining-under a single mandate administered by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Today, the agency is striving to reduce the environmental health risks associated with mining.
