MSHA Meets With Mine Operators
Mine Safety and Health Administration officials met Thursday (today) with mine operators in Floyd County to discuss upcoming deadlines in the 2006 Miner Act. Beginning June 15th, mines will be required to have a two-way, wireless system that will allow communication between underground miners and workers on the surface. That technology is still in the works. MSHA says, as long as they're approved, mines are allowed to use other forms of two-way communication.
