1 Potential Pattern of Violations Dennis Cotton Assistant District Manager Technical Division October 12, 2011
2 Pattern of Violations Single Source Page http://www.msha.gov/POV/POVsinglesource.asp A mine operator that has a potential pattern of recurrent S&S violations at a mine will receive written notification from MSHA. An S&S violation is one that could reasonably be expected to lead to a serious injury or illness. The operator will have an opportunity to review and comment on the documents upon which the potential pattern of violations is based, and develop a corrective action program to reduce S&S violations.
3 MSHA will closely monitor the affected mine's compliance. If the operator significantly reduces its S&S violation rate, it can avoid being issued a Notice of a Pattern of Violations pursuant to Section 104(e) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. If the improvement falls short of prescribed goals, MSHA will issue the notice.
4 For each S&S violation subsequently found, MSHA will issue an order withdrawing miners from the affected area until the cited condition has been corrected.
5 An operator can be removed from a pattern of violations when 1) an inspection of the entire mine is completed and no S&S violations are found or 2) no withdrawal order is issued by MSHA in accordance with Section 104(e)(1) of the Mine Act within 90 days of the issuance of the pattern notice.
6 Pattern of Violations Screening Criteria - 2010 A computer-generated report is run that retrieves data for the most recent 12 months in which data are available for every mine under MSHA’s jurisdiction. All non-abandoned mines (on the date the report is generated) are reviewed to determine if a potential pattern of violations may exist.
7 Initial Screening Criteria (30 CFR §104.2) The following two sets of screening criteria are used to perform the initial screening required under 30 CFR §104.2. Mines must meet the criteria in either set to be further considered for exhibiting a potential pattern of violations.
8 Initial Criteria 1 Mines meeting all of the following four criteria are further screened to identify those that meet appropriate criteria, as specified in 30 CFR §104.3, for a potential pattern of violations. 1. At least 50 citations/orders for significant and substantial (S&S) violations issued in the most recent 12 months. 2. A rate of eight or more S&S citations/orders issued per 100 inspection hours during the most recent 12 months OR the degree of negligence for at least 25 percent of the S&S citations/orders issued during the most recent 12 months is ‘high” or “reckless disregard.” 3. At least 0.5 elevated citations and orders [issued under section 104(b); 104(d); 104(g); or 107(a) of the Mine Act] issued per 100 inspection hours during the most recent 12 months. 4. A12-month Injury Severity Measure (SM) for the mine that is greater than the overall Industry SM for all mines in the same mine type and classification over the most recent five years. Or
9 Initial Criteria 2 Mines meeting both of the following two criteria are further screened to identify those that meet appropriate criteria, as specified in 30 CFR §104.3, for a potential pattern of violations. 1.At least 100 S&S citations/orders issued in the most recent 12 months. 2. At least 40 elevated citations and orders [issued under section 104(b); 104(d); 104(g); or 107(a) of the Mine Act] issued during the most recent 12 months.
10 Pattern Criteria Screening (30 CFR §104.3) 30 CFR § 104.3 requires that one of the following pattern criteria be met: (1) a history of repeated S&S violations of a particular standard; (2) a history of repeated S&S violations of standards related to the same hazard; or (3) a history of repeated S&S violations caused by unwarrantable failure to comply. Only citations and orders that are final may be considered in determining if these criteria have been met. For a pattern of violations review, mines identified during the initial screening must have at least five S&S citations of the same standard that became final orders of the commission during the most recent 12 months OR at least two S&S unwarrantable failure violations that became final orders of the commission during the most recent 12 months.
