MSHA Exposeure

So... Does anyone have any experience with MSHA? (Mine Safety and Health Administration) I work for a local Underground Mine, and most everyone smokes analogs everywhere except inside buildings and around fuel and explosives trucks... what i'm wondering is has anyone had any experience dealing with MSHA inspectors and vaping?

I don't have any experience with MSHA, but if you can make an atty coil glow red,
I wouldn't vape anywhere you can't smoke.

Likely there haven't been any actual studies or incidents as vaping is new.
You don't want to be the first explosion that proves it's not safe.....:)
Ditto, the coils to tend to get on the real hot side, not sure about setting things off but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Im an office worker... so the most flamable thing in immediate reach is my coffee cup and my personality however because i work on the active claim, MSHA has jurisdiction everywhere...

Well in that case, I'd vape until told otherwise. Of course, I wouldn't make a spectacle of myself while doing so but I'd have a go at it until they told me not to. That's just me though...
