The Compliance Deadline Is Here – Are You Ready for MSHA 30 CFR Part 60?

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has implemented a final rule under 30 CFR Part 60 aimed at reducing miners’ exposure to respirable crystalline silica. This regulation sets a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 µg/m³ over an 8-hour time-weighted average and introduces an action level of 25 µg/m³, requiring operators to take specific actions when exposures reach this level .​

How to Stay Compliant:

At Compliance Safety Supply, we provide the industry-leading equipment you need to meet MSHA’s updated silica exposure standards with confidence – for rent or purchase

Monitor Silica in Real Time with the TSI DustTrak Aerosol Monitor

Stay ahead of exposure risks with real-time data. The TSI DustTrak provides accurate, continuous measurement of airborne particulates like respirable crystalline silica. Ideal for area monitoring around high-risk operations such as drilling, crushing, or hauling, the DustTrak helps you:

• Instantly identify high-exposure zones

• Capture time-weighted average (TWA) data

• Maintain records for compliance with MSHA’s 30 CFR Part 60 standard

This portable, rugged monitor is trusted across the mining and construction industries for its precision and ease of use.

Ensure Proper Respirator Fit using the OHD QuantiFit 2 Fit Testing System

Compliance isn’t just about monitoring air—it’s also about ensuring workers are protected. The OHD QuantiFit 2 uses Controlled Negative Pressure (CNP) technology to perform quantitative fit testing without aerosols or irritants. In just minutes, you can:

• Accurately test and document respirator fit

• Ensure protection for workers exposed above the action level (≥25 µg/m³)

• Meet MSHA and OSHA respiratory protection program requirements

Perfect for on-site testing with minimal disruption to operations.

Conduct Personal Air Sampling with Sensidyne Gilian Air Monitoring Pumps

For compliance verification and detailed exposure assessments, personal sampling is a must. The Gilian Air Sampling Pumps from Sensidyne allow for:

• Precise collection of respirable dust samples from individual workers

• Lab analysis to confirm silica exposure levels

• Documentation to support MSHA compliance and corrective action planning

These pumps are durable, reliable, and easy to operate—ideal for demanding field conditions.
