Thanks for the ping and the report.

I've read on a couple of threads this morning that the mine has been managed by the current owner since November. That doesn't seem to be a long enough period to rectify safety hazards and correct OSHA violations that were recently cited.

Incidentally, my manufacturing plant has been cited for not having a large enough exit sign over a full glass door. Some citations can be annoyingly frivolous.

This is one of my rare reports not devoted to media bias, or politics per se, but focusing essentially on the human, spontaneous moment.

MSHA is the regulatory agency overseeing mines and you are absolutely right, just hearing that there are 40+ citations in a calendar year is not enough, because they can be cited for extremly minor infractions. i think i read that the penalty was $250 per infraction or thereabouts. That isn't indicative of some major lifethreatening violation.

Since November?

Thank you for that info .. I hadn't hear that

OSHA doesn't cover mines; MSHA does.
