Authorizes the Secretary, in the event of an accident, to take whatever action is appropriate to protect the life of any persons. Directs the Secretary to issue a notice of violation to an operator if it is found that any mandatory health or safety standard has been violated, unless there is a violation that could be a significant safety and health hazard in which case a citation shall be issued.

Prohibits entry, except for certain necessary personnel, into an area described in a notice, if the violation has not been abated within the specified time period. Prohibits entry into a mine by a miner who has not received requisite safety training.
