Petition for Modifications and Technology
Event Details
Presented by R. Henry “Hank” Moore. Mine safety and health is regulated primarily through mandatory safety and health standards promulgated under § 101(a) of the Mine Act. However, under § 101(c) of the Act, operators may petition for, and the Secretary may modify the application of, mandatory safety standards. Such requests seek to allow mine operators to comply by means different than those required by the existing standard. Modification requests often concern the use of new technologies, and this presentation will feature a panel of industry and government mine safety lawyers to share perspectives on current issues surrounding the petition for modification process.
 
Hank Moore is a partner with Fisher Phillips, LLP. His practice is concentrated in the areas of compliance counseling, litigation of civil enforcement matters, accident investigation, counseling concerning criminal liability under various mining statutes, and discrimination and retaliation claims under federal statutory provisions related to mining and occupational safety and health.
