Massey Waiting For MSHA Decision
WEST VIRGINIA....
On September 28th, the Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training approved a plan to allow Massey Energy to hold its own, separate investigation into what caused the April 5th explosion that killed 29 miners at the Upper Big Branch Mine. Massey has been waiting for a decision from MSHA officials who still have not permitted Massey investigators to initiate their probe. Massey says it has a team of some of the "nation's best accident investigators" to investigate the UBB mine explosion, and that "under the Mine Act, companies are required to conduct their own investigation.
