MSHA has issued an alert for October based on numbers that show that for Metal/Nonmetal mines it is the deadliest month.
Of course it’s a good idea to pay extra attention to safety any month, any week, or any day, but this certainly indicates there are factors in the industry that could make October a special month to pay attention to safety. Download the printout below from MSHA to post or distribute to your miners.
