Groups ask MSHA to require more miner training
CHARLESTON — Mine safety advocacy groups are asking federal regulators to require more training on miners’ rights.
The Appalachian Center’s Mine Safety Project, the Appalachian Citizens Law Center, United Support and Memorial for Workplace Fatalities and the United Mine Workers union made the request in a petition filed with the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.
The groups want MSHA to require neutral trainers on miners’ rights instead of mine operators. They also want miners to be given annual refresher courses.
Under the 1977 federal Mine Act, miners have the right to speak up about unsafe conditions without retaliation. They also can name a representative to accompany federal inspectors during mine inspections.
