MSHA Ditches Outdated Trolley Rules in Modern Mines
Published Date: 7/1/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
MSHA wants to update the rules by removing old trolley regulations for metal, nonmetal, and coal mines since trolleys are no longer used. Mines now use better tech like conveyor belts and battery-powered vehicles to move people and materials. This change clears up outdated rules and won’t cost mines extra money or time.
