Miner Safety & Health

U.S. Department of Labor

About this app

Understand your rights as a miner, search and utilize safety and health best practices, and receive notifications of fatal accidents that occur in the mining community.

 The accident notifications are intended to initiate enhanced awareness of miner’s performing similar work throughout our nation’s mines. Our goal is that you can take what you learn in this app and thwart similar accidents performed by miners.   

The app is divided into four main sections as follows; Safety Topics, Health Topics, Miners’ Rights, About MSHA, and we also added a Contact Us section. Each section contains the content or information that will be useful for the user.

Ratings and reviews

This is a great idea, but needs user experience review. Fatality push notices can be used to launch the app, but the safety splash screen bypasses to the main app menu, so you never see the Fatality info. Some graphics are cut off, etc.

Code of Federal Regulations should be in this app, or at least a link to it. Otherwise it's just ok. I'm sure whoever bulit it received a nice Federal government pat on the back and payday.

Fail. Will download to a phone but will not download to tablet. Need tablet for work and this app for work. Not a very good setup.
