Safety Agency Dropped 7 West Virginia Mines from Violator List
Posted On Thursday, 01 Jul 2010 By . Under News Tags: Massey Energy Co, MSHA, Upper Big Branch, West Virginia
Plans to crack down on seven West Virginia coal mines with a history of excessive health and safety violations were dropped because of a lack of money, the industry’s chief federal regulator said this week.
The West Virginia mines are among nine across the country that were being considered for the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s pattern of violations program. Two others were not named because of ongoing inspections.
The agency provided the names to the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor, which released the list. MSHA’s pattern of violations program has drawn congressional scrutiny since the agency acknowledged that Massey Energy Co.’s Upper Big Branch mine was dropped from consideration because of a computer error.
