    • MSHA - VPID Calculator

    Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

    Inspection days are derived by totaling the MSHA on-site inspection hours entered by Authorized Representatives of the Secretary (AR) for certain inspection activities and task codes and dividing by five. A remainder amount greater than zero increases the count by one. All of the inspectors' time (not including Travel time to and from the mines) at the mine site is included when calculating inspection days. Calculator is available after the initial Mine selection.
