The Mine Act also directs NIOSH to coordinate the activities of a Mine Safety and Health Research Advisory Committee (MSHRAC). The committee was formed in 1984 and has been active in advising MSHA and NIOSH on various mining-related health issues and potential research areas NIOSH s findings frequently form the basis for rulemaking or increased enforced emphasis by MSHA.
