MSHA Info Now Online
KENTUCKY...
The federal government says it's putting the health and safety records of all U.S. mines on the Internet.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration announced the information release Thursday.
MSHA says the records include all public data it's collected since the year 2000. It includes where mines are located, information on accidents, injuries, production, violations and inspections.
MSHA director Joe Main says the change is part of President Barack Obama's efforts to make more government information available to the public.
The files are available at MSHA's web site: http://www.msha.gov/OpenGovernmentData/OGIMSHA.asp.
