Improving and Eliminating Regulations; Limit on Exposure to Diesel Particulate Matter in Underground Metal and Nonmetal Mines

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is removing outdated diesel particulate matter (DPM) personal exposure limit requirements for underground metal and nonmetal mines from its regulations. The agency says the provisions carry effective dates and exposure limits that no longer apply. The change is a regulatory cleanup that affects mine operators rather than HR software or workforce practices.
