**MSHA releases tools to help track violations**

Arlington, VA – The Mine Safety and Health Administration is offering two online tools intended to help mine operators and workers review violations of safety standards.

Data is available for underground mines during the most recent inspection quarter and for surface mines during the previous six-month inspection period.

Users enter their mine ID number and a date range into the tools, which then compare the mine's average number of violations to the national average.
