Surface mines: safety regulation.

Abstract

Existing law, enforced by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, defines and regulates mines and tunnels and distinguishes between above ground, or surface mines, and underground mines. Existing law requires the Division of Occupational Safety and Health to issue citations if, upon inspection, an employer violates specified standards, rules, orders, or regulations. Existing law authorizes a notice to be issued in lieu of a citation if specified conditions are met. Existing law prohibits a citation or notice from being issued by the division more than 6 months after the occurrence of the violation. This bill would specify that the division is prohibited from issuing a citation or notice to a surface mine employer more than 6 months after the occurrence of a violation. For inspections at a surface mine, the bill would require the division to provide the employer a specified notice of hazard within 72 hours after the inspection for observable conditions that may cause an injury if not addressed with reasonable promptness. The bill would prohibit the absence of identification of particular conditions in a notice, or the failure of the division to note particular conditions in a notice, from being grounds to dismiss or prevent applicable enforcement or corrective action.
