Mine Safety Grants
KENTUCKY...
The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration is looking for states and nonprofit agencies that want to develop training for emergency preparedness and prevention in underground mines. MSHA will award $500,000 in safety and health training grants to help identify, avoid and prevent unsafe working conditions in and around mines. As many as 10 $50,000 Brookwood-Sago grants will be awarded in September. The deadline to apply is Aug. 18. The grants are named after the 13 men who died in two explosions at the Jim Walter Resources mine in Brookwood, Ala., in 2001 and 12 men who died in an explosion at the Sago Mine in West Virginia in 2006.
