    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) received a petition from Consol Pennsylvania Coal Company, LLC, asking for permission to modify safety standards to allow the use of specific battery-powered vibration analyzers and data collectors at the Harvey Mine in Pennsylvania. These devices, not originally meeting MSHA's standards, are needed because the previously approved models are no longer available. Consol explains that the new equipment is essential for predicting equipment failures, which helps maintain safety. The proposal includes safety measures such as regular inspections and restrictions on use in areas with high methane levels. MSHA is inviting public comments on this petition until January 9, 2025.

    The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has received a petition from Consol Pennsylvania Coal Company, LLC to modify safety standards for the use of battery-powered equipment at their Harvey Mine in Pennsylvania. The company wants to use specific vibration analyzers and data collectors that are not currently approved by MSHA due to a lack of alternatives since the previous MSHA-approved equipment is no longer available. Consol argues that the new equipment, while not currently meeting MSHA's standards, provides a similar level of safety and is necessary for maintaining miner safety through predictive maintenance. The company proposes an alternative method for their use, ensuring that safety measures are upheld, and invites comments on this petition by January 9, 2025.
