@USDOL @ActSecJulieSu @MSHA_DOL @NIOSH @MineWorkers @steelworkers Thank you!
Feds issue long-awaited rules to limit silica dust exposure and stem the toll of black lung disease. “This is a critical step to keeping miners safe and healthy ... Now, our focus shifts to holding mining companies accountable.” Via @mtnstspotlight: mountainstatespotlight.org/2024/04/16/msh…

As I reported for @inthesetimesmag last year, toxic silica dust is fueling a black lung crisis among young coal miners in Appalachia. This long-awaited new rule cuts the legal silica exposure limit *in half* and will save so many lives inthesetimes.com/article/coal-m…
Coal miners are getting new protections from silica dust linked to black lung disease. apne.ws/u9udDaq
A big win for mining communities: after years of our advocacy, @MSHA_DOL is raising standards around miners’ exposure to toxic silica dust. Higher standards will prevent more cases of black lung and save lives.
Coal miners will get long wanted protection from dust that causes black lung. fortune.com/2024/04/17/coa…

On Tuesday, federal officials posted new rules to protect coal and other miners from toxic #silica dust, a growing problem in mines that has left thousands sick and dying. npr.org/sections/healt…
This coal miner's granddaughter says THANK YOU for protecting miners' lungs and lives.
Today we’re fulfilling a promise to our nation’s miners by taking action to better protect them from the hazards of toxic silica dust. A new @MSHA_DOL final rule lowers the permissible exposure limit, among other requirements, to make sure all miners come home safe and healthy.
@GrimKim @inthesetimesmag My dad died of black lung in his 80s. Finding out that a school friend of mine also died from those complications was eye opening.
My colleagues and I are confident this rule will play an essential role in safeguarding miners from cancers, silicosis and black lung disease. We remain determined to protect the health and welfare of our brave coal miners who tirelessly work to power this nation to greatness.
A final rule to slow miners' exposure to silica dust, which is known to cause many lung-related diseases like black lung and lung cancer, has been issued. trib.al/M5AnzWH
Thank you to @USDOL @ActSecJulieSu for coming to western PA today to announce the new rule to protect our mine workers! We were honored to stand with you for this historic step in the fight for worker safety.
LIVE from Uniontown, PA, at 10:30 ET: @ActSecJulieSu and @MSHA_DOL Assistant Secretary Chris Williamson will be joined by @NIOSH, @MineWorkers, @steelworkers and others to discuss our new silica dust rule⤵️ youtube.com/watch?v=0P8SqF…
Kudos to @MSHA_DOL for issuing a rule to reduce miners' exposure to silica dust & airborne hazards. Mine operators are required to provide periodic health exams at no cost to miners or their families. APHA submitted comments urging a strong rule. nytimes.com/2024/04/16/us/……
Kevin Weikle is a 34-year-old former coal miner in West Virginia with black lung. His story, and others like it, are the reason @MSHA_DOL issued this new silica rule, which is estimated to save more than 1,000 lives and prevent illness for thousands more. pennlive.com/opinion/2024/0…
