Federal mine safety regulators are warning that winter weather can be
deadly in the coal industry.
The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration wants miners
and mine operators to be alert for hazards that cold weather typically bring to
mines.
The agency says low humidity and low barometric pressures,
combined with seasonal drying of many areas in underground coal mines, have
been major factors in past mine explosions. The cold weather also brings
potential hazards such as limited visibility, icy roads, and the freezing and
thawing of highwalls at surface mines.
The Charleston Gazette reports that MSHA is encouraging
miners and mine operators to take actions that can prevent serious accidents.
Those measures include treating icy surfaces and making sure there's adequate
ventilation in underground coal mines.
