MINE RESCUE RULE CHANGES PROPOSED

The Mine Safety Technology Task Force has proposed amendments to the State Mine Rescue requirements under Title 48 Series 4, and Title 36 Series 44 rules. The changes are intended to conform the state requirements with MSHA's newly promulgated mine rescue rules.
The rules will be discussed at the next meeting of the Board of Coal Mine health and Safety set for next week, April 15 & 16 in Charleston.
