Abstract

Methods for the effective regulation of workplace safety have been the subject of continuing controversy. One possible method is the targeting of high injury rate establishments, labeled THIRE. This article evaluates the PAR program of the Mine Safety and Health Administration, which employs a THIREstrategy to regulate safety in stone, sand, and gravel mines. The results suggest that the program may have been effective in reducing the number of injuries in this sector of the mining industry.
