-2- <br /> I believe that safety violations must be remedied, and I do not believe <br /> that safety standards should be reduced. I am concerned, however, that <br /> the intensive MSHA effort to cite current problems in a non-prioritized <br /> fashion may prevent Mid-Continent mine officials from developing and <br /> implementing both short and long-term plans to upgrade the safety of the <br /> mine. Constant inspections, citations and closure orders, coupled with <br /> mandatory re-working of solutions already implemented, has essentially <br /> brought the mine to a standstill . <br /> Given the the apparent continuation <br /> ,6 OA ofAproblems, I agree that much needs to be done. Based onArecent <br /> discussions with the operator, I believe that the mine management is now <br /> making a good-faith effort to improve conditions. The hiring of <br /> Mark Skiles and Jim Kaiser indicates a new company attitude toward <br /> safety. Lost time due to accidents is now down 75 percent from 1987. <br /> Given all the above, I would like to <br /> ce -e to develop short and long-term strategies to insure <br /> company compliance with federal mine safety standards. _ e <br /> / s u bst-a e <br /> e, � <br /> �.�6 awT�-e �•... y�,,,, o�..� �y�.. 4� ....tic ,c.�-�C-,� 7 <br /> Jack T asdale, (Arlington Office - technician) <br /> Warren A Brews (Ventilat' xpert) ✓ e ~., J.4-��-•� <br /> Tony Turyn (Tech ian) � �'yn0 <br /> J Ed Miller ) <br /> Dow Ph' ips, District 4 Manager <br /> Ke i xon, Di tri ct 7 Manager <br /> en Howard <br /> , Arlington Officee C <br /> V-1 Don i chell , Utah Power and Light Ventilation Expert (Pennsylvania) <br />
