MSHA, NMA recognize safest mines

The Mine Safety and Health Administration and the National Mining Association last week honored 20 mines with the Sentinels of Safety award for their 2008 safety records.

The award is presented to mines with a minimum of 4,000 injury-free employee work hours. The 20 winning companies combined for almost 2.7 million work hours without a lost-time or restricted-duty injury, according to an MSHA press release.
