As of Aug. 21, 63 air packs lacking heat damage indicators were still being used by mine inspectors. The state chose 17 of those at random for testing on a breathing simulator at Pleasant Prairie, Wis.-based Ocenco Inc., which is the only manufacturer of automated breathing simulators. The state is paying $5,000 to use the facilities for 10 days.
Kentucky also is participating in the testing. The aim is to learn more about equipment that has come under heavy scrutiny after three deadly accidents in the two states this year.
A dozen miners were killed in a Jan. 2 explosion at the Sago Mine and two miners died in a belt line fire Jan. 19 at Aracoma Coal Co.'s Alma No. 1 mine in Logan County. Five miners were killed May 20 in an explosion at the Kentucky Darby Mine No. 1 in Harlan County, Ky., including three who died of carbon monoxide poisoning despite donning air packs. |
