Feds cite Massey

MSHA has cited The Moustachioed One's company, Massey Energy, for safety violations that investigators say contributed to the death of a miner.

The accident occurred in Kanawha County when a miner fell 39 feet when a conveyor belt he was working on started up without warning.

From AP via Time Magazine:

The MSHA noted a series of problems at the mine in the report. Among other things, the agency cited Massey's Mammoth Coal Co. because the belt had inadequate startup alarms, including one that wasn't working, according to the report.

Inspectors also cited the mine after finding that the power to the belt hadn't been turned off before Neal started work and that the circuit breaker had a broken handle, making it inoperable.
