The MSHA has reported increased compliance by members in 2015.
From November, MSHA will place greater emphasis on enforcing standards relating to confined spaces.
After concerns were raised by the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association and other groups, the Mine Safety and Health Administration has revised its workplace guidelines.
MSHA publishes its 1Q14 fatalities analysis for the US mining industry; Cemex UK provides an update on the incident at the South Ferriby cement plant.
