Mining Safety Rules Got the Shaft, Workers Union Says By Cindy Skrzycki, washingtonpost
Another controversy erupted over the agency's withdrawal of a Clinton-era rule addressing coal dust, which causes black lung disease and has killed thousands of miners.
Lauriski, formerly general manager of Energy West Mining Co. in Utah, one of the largest underground coal producers, offered a replacement rule. It would have allowed an increase in coal dust, to be offset by miners wearing protective breathing helmets, rather than investing in better ventilation and water to tamp down the dust.------------------------------------------- posted 7:08 AM :: reference link ::
