The federal Mine Safety and Health
Administration announced Monday it has met all 100 recommendations
published in the months after the 2010 disaster at the Upper Big Branch mine in
Raleigh County
The recommendations came as part of
an internal review.
“The internal review was designed to identify shortcomings so
that we, as an agency, could take necessary actions to improve mine safety and
health,” MSHA Chief Joe Main said in a prepared release. “The result was one of
the most comprehensive internal reviews in MSHA history, and the most extensive
improvements at the agency in decades.”
