Mining Industry Fines Not Being Issued
The federal Mine Safety and Health Administrtion (MSHA), in a review into the penalty for a Kentucky coal operator, in which a miner bled to deeath from lack of medical aid on December 30, 2005, says they found hundreds of citations for the mining industry since 2000 that didn't seem to carry any financial penalty.
MSHA spokesman Matthew Faraci said this problem could extend farther back than 1995, which was when electronic filing was implemented.
