The Mine Safety and Health Administration is extending its existing system that requires mine workers and contractors to get official identification numbers for safety tracking and certification purposes. If you operate a mine or hire contract workers, plan for your team to complete or renew their identification applications before the deadline, and submit your feedback to MSHA by July 7, 2026 if you think the process needs changes.
