MSHA has a really useful on-line tool called the DRS or &#8216;Data Retrieval System&#8217; that allows you to look up every mine in the country and see all the data relating to that mine. MSHA also provides statistics on which of those citations have been cited the most. Below I have listed the top ten [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[30 CFR § 56.14107 - Moving machine parts.

This is the most cited violation MSHA has issued in calendar year 2009. This goes from 1/1/2009 until the writing of this post 12/2/2009

Lets look at this standard. We know there is a very good reason for this rule since it is wrote in the CFR. Always remember that MSHA was enacted with the Federal Mine Safety &#038; Health Act of 1977 because of poor treatment to miners in U.S. mines by the operators that employed them. The CFR is written in blood, not literally obviously, but figuratively. Every rule that has been written to the book is there because a miner was injured or killed performing his assigned and sometimes not assigned duties.]]></description>
