Trump administration cannot weaken Obama-era safety rule for miners, court says.

[elleng]

'The U.S. Court of Appeals found that the administration’s justification for relaxing the safety rule was “arbitrary and capricious."

A federal court has quashed the Trump administration’s effort to relax a health and safety rule for mine workers, arguing that the changes would put miners at risk.

The Obama-era rule — finalized in 2017 in that administration's last days — requires mine operators to examine workplaces before miners begin their shifts and to make a record of adverse health and safety conditions. The rule applies to workers who extract granite, stone, copper and other noncoal substances from mines.'>>>
