Conn Maciel Carey is pleased to announce the launch of the The MSHA Defense Report blog, curated by the top-notch MSHA attorneys in our national MSHA • Workplace Safety Practice Group.

The MSHA Defense Report will provide stakeholders in the mining industry with useful legal and regulatory updates, as well as analysis of trends in the mine safety and health legal landscape. Whether reviewing new decisions from the Federal Mine Safety & Health Review Commission and its Judges, or the latest important enforcement initiatives policy and rulemaking issues from the Mine Safety and Health Administration, The MSHA Defense Report will be the destination for the nation’s mine operators to access the latest news about the full range of safety and health topics affecting the Industry.

As a true complement to Conn Maciel Carey’s national OSHA Practice Group and its OSHA Defense Report blog, the MSHA Practice and its new MSHA Defense Report blog are valuable resources to learn about the significance of new legal developments in federal mining regulation from the quarry to the courtroom, helping operators prepare and respond.  The blog will also offer practical advice and creative solutions, with the goal of minimizing exposure to liability.

We hope you visit the blog often and provide the MSHA Group with feedback about topics of interest.
