MSHA Cites Massey Energy
WEST VIRGINIA....
Massey Energy says the company was cited by MSHA last Thursday after federal investigators found bad roof and wall conditions and flooding at the Upper Big Branch coal mine. The Mine Safety and Health Administration decided the conditions posed an imminent danger of death or injury. Massey says the problems are not in an area where investigators are looking for clues to the April 5th explosion that killed 29 miners. Massey disputes MSHA's conclusion, but says it's fixing the problems. On August 30th, Massey was cited for a faulty circuit breaker at its Derby Wilson Mine in Wise County, Virginia. Massey officials say no one was injured because of either violation.
