Join me at the Mine Safety and Health Conference in Reno, NV this October.

I will have the privilege of presenting during two breakout sessions on Tuesday, October 28:

• MSHA Silica Rule and Operator's Responsibility

  This presentation will go through the finer points of the current regulation, along with laying out exactly what each operator needs to do. The latest updates to include MSHA guidance will be included to assist the mining community.

• Lowering silica from 350 ug/m3 to 50 ug/m3. A case study in low-cost dust solutions.

  This presentation will discuss principles of designing dust control solutions, covering a wide-range of design options. It will go in-depth on how these principles were tested, applied, and ultimately how a cost-effective solution was implemented to reduce an employee exposure significantly.
