A Beckley BAFA column explains MSHA District 4 enforcement in southern West Virginia. It notes 1990s fatalities declining, but non fatal accidents remain high, with 2,500 mining incidents and 40,000+ lost workdays, plus high contractor involvement, and stresses safety training and cooperative efforts among companies, labor, and government.
