The U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration announced that none of the nation’s 12,000 mining operations met the criteria for a pattern of violations notice, one of the agency’s toughest enforcement tools, between Oct. 1, 2025, and Sept. 30, 2026.
“Under this administration, MSHA remains committed to objectively calling balls and strikes in enforcement, including issuing POV notices when warranted,” said Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health Wayne D. Palmer.
“For the third year in a row, no mine received a POV notice which, combined with the lowest-ever all-injury rate in 2025, signals continued progress toward protecting miners from safety and health hazards.”
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 includes the pattern of violations provision for mines with a recurring pattern of significant and substantial violations — those that are reasonably likely to result in a serious injury or illness —and other safety and health compliance problems. If a mine receives subsequent S&S violations after being placed on POV, MSHA is authorized to withdraw miners from the affected area of the mine.
MSHA provides mine operators with online tools to help monitor compliance. The POV calculator allows mine operators to monitor performance under the POV screening criteria and alerts mine operators that corrective actions are needed. The agency’s S&S calculator enables mine operators to monitor their “significant and substantial” violations.
The agency said mine operators are responsible for tracking their violation and injury histories to determine whether they need to take action to avoid meeting the POV screening criteria.
