Key Highlights

The Reality Check

When a Citation Arrives,
These Questions Hit Hard

"Do we have grounds to fight this?"

Without structured analysis, it's pure guesswork. You need regulatory framework + precedent alignment now.

"What will MSHA use against us?"

Know their playbook: PPM guidance, inspector framework, and how similar cases played out.

"Conference prep without counsel every time?"

Most citations don't need full legal. But you still need defensible, cited arguments.

"Prove improvement, not just pay penalties?"

Leadership wants outcomes, trends, and proof you're reducing exposure systematically.

The Answer

Not Generic AI Search.

Consistent workflow from issuance → informal conference → contest prep. This isn’t replacing counsel—it’s empowering your team with structured analysis and source documentation to make defensible decisions faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conservative, defensible answers to the questions that matter.

Can I try MSHAWISE before subscribing?

Yes, you can try MSHAWISE for free by signing up for a free trial HERE .  The free trial includes both Copilots, the Citation Agent, the entire MSHA body of knowledge including case law as well as the Citation Management module.  All features!

We employ a series of techniques to ensure data privacy and security. Firstly, prompts are NOT used in training AI. Furthermore, the system employs a vector database, RAG model, which minimizes any document exposure to the AI models even in real time.  Our staff may review search queries periodically to help improve the system. 

That is precisely what the Citation Agent and the Citation Management module are designed to do.  Upload your citation, add any supporting info or images, then let the citation agent do all the analysis to build your argumentation for your informal conference OR your formal contest.

We hope you find that MSHAWISE is your safety & compliance solution of choice.  We do not issue refunds, though the free trial period is intended to help solidify the value of the system and give you a chance to try before you buy. However, if you experience issues, please contact support@mshawise.com for assistance.

No, challenges are made directly through MSHA.  However, MSHAWISE will tell you exactly what you need to do AND is your primary tool for research and analysis related to challenging a citation.

Absolutely!  MSHAWISE can help make sure you’ve incorporated all relevant MSHA guidance and regulations into your different types of safety plans. Stay tuned for advanced Safety Plan features later this year.

Helpful Hint: Include your type of site and ask as specific a question as possible to help the MSHA Copilots understand your context.  Also – you can cut/paste an entire safety plan section to look for improvement recommendations backed up by cited sources.

Safety Trainers are among are most raving fans! Some simply have it up in the background during training sessions to help with Q&A for a “let’s see what the MSHA AI says about that” moment. 

Other trainers and training formats (like ACRI – Alternative Conflict Resolution) have exercises built around uploading citations and seeing related case law, related guidance and all the argumentation for a mock contest of various types of citations.

Know whether a citation is worth fighting—and how to fight it—before you walk into the conference.
