Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 Passes
The 1969 act signed by President Nixon marks a major federal overhaul of coal mine safety. It expands coverage to all coal mines affecting commerce, ends the gassy versus nongassy distinction, and replaces the industry board with a federal interim compliance panel to establish mandatory health and safety standards and report accidents.
