"We got a standard, we may be quote unquote compliant with the standard, but does that mean that risk stays controlled?"
This week Dr. Logan F. Martin and James Junkin discuss a NIOSH study published in August 2026 showing black lung disease among Appalachian coal miners has returned to levels not seen since the 1970s. One in three underground coal miners with 25 or more years of experience have the disease. The hazard was known. The controls were known. The question is whether compliance was ever enough.
