The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has received a petition from ICG Beckley, LLC for a modification to existing mine safety standards. The company wants to use unapproved Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs), specifically the CleanSpace EX and 3M Versaflo TR-800, in certain mining environments. These devices are suggested as alternatives to the discontinued 3M Airstream helmet, providing respiratory protection from coal mine dust. ICG Beckley argues that their use will maintain or enhance miner safety, even though these devices aren't MSHA approved. They propose extensive training, regular inspections, and strict conditions for using these PAPRs to ensure miner safety.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) received a petition from Mingo Logan Coal, LLC to modify existing safety standards for the Mountaineer II Mine in West Virginia. The petition seeks permission to use two types of respiratory protection devices, the 3M Versaflo TR-800 and the CleanSpace EX, as an alternative to currently approved equipment, which has been discontinued. The petitioner claims these devices provide the same level of safety and protection against coal dust, although they are not MSHA-approved. The proposal includes specific safety measures and training requirements for the use of these devices.
