In plain English
The Labor Department is cutting safety and record-keeping rules for blacksmith shops that work with mining operations, eliminating paperwork and compliance costs that were hitting small metalworking businesses hard. If you operate a blacksmith shop serving mines, mark July 27, 2026 on your calendar—that's when the old requirements drop away, so review what's no longer required and adjust your operations accordingly.
