    Rockwell Mining, LLC has submitted a petition to the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) seeking a change in the application of existing safety standards at their Eagle #3 Mine in West Virginia. They request the use of two specific respirators, the CleanSpace EX and 3M Versaflo TR-800, which are not MSHA-approved, arguing these provide necessary protection and comfort for miners in hot conditions. The company proposes an alternative method, including specific training, inspection, and maintenance protocols, to ensure safety levels equivalent to existing standards. The petition indicates that these measures will expand respirator options and maintain miner safety without reducing current safety standards.

    Simple Explanation

    Rockwell Mining wants to use special air masks for their workers that are not officially approved yet but promise to keep them cool and safe while working. They believe their plan will still protect everyone as much as the old rules do, even though they’re trying something a little different.
