Miners dumping cargo from haulage vehicles should always load trucks or trailers properly and dump only on level surfaces, free of spillage, the Mine Safety and Health Administration says.
The Mining Mutual Insurance Company created by West Virginia Senate Bill 1 of 2022 with $50 million of taxpayer money to support coal mine operators has been "a little bit more" active in providing bonds than its head expected. The company was created to limit the state s liability for mine reclamation cleanup, but critics say it doesn t address that liability.
A long-anticipated Mine Safety and Health Administration final rule intended to reduce miners’ exposure to silica has been sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review.
