Navigating This Website:
Hi,
Thanks for stopping by to take a look! We hope that you will find some useful information as you browse this site. We welcome you as part of this informal group where we can communicate about what is going on in the industry regarding MSHA. Please feel free to leave your comments (but remember that MSHA does read this site too.) To contact us through the phone or email with your stories and concerns, call Cary or Kathy Matthews, at 541-536-1771 or 541-410-4673 (Cary's cell). Our fax number is 541-536-1772. You can email us at: lapineredimixinc@hotmail.com
New blog posts are featured on this page, and other information is found by category by clicking on the pages links above.
We encourage you to join up with your local aggregate association, because there is strength in numbers. If there is not one in your area yet, please consider forming one.
Take care, and remember to be in contact with your state officials to voice your concerns about MSHA. Our tax dollars pay for MSHA, which is under the Department of Labor. Our fine money goes into the general fund, and we cannot afford to keep paying out costly fines on the more and more frequent trivial citations to essentially support government spending. At least that is how I feel about it.
~ Kathy

FMSAHRC 2011 Budget Justification:
Link to The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commison 2011 Budget Justification:http://www.fmshrc.gov/plans/fy2011justification.pdf
37 pages of easy and riveting reading ... well, maybe not riveting, but it is very interesting indeed. This link explains what the Commission does, and how the system works if you fight your citation. Included are the statistics on how their caseloads have dramatically increased since 2006. Of course, it is a budget justification, so they explain why they need more money and how it will be spent.
