MSHA will take every step to protect the miners' interest in a fair and open investigation into this tragic accident, including ensuring that the UMWA can participate fully as the miners' representative. We made a commitment to the miners and the families on this. We are elated that the court agreed that the rights of miners' representatives must be protected.

This emergency rulemaking will require the use of proven technologies and techniques to help miners evacuate quickly and safely after a mine accident.
