UPDATE:
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced Wednesday an order placing all mines in West Virginia to stand down for at least one hour to review safety procedures.
Tomblin clarified this is not a shut down but rather a time for officials to ensure mining operations are meeting safety guidelines.
According to Tomblin, the stand down will occur at about Wednesday afternoon. Tomblin suggested the stand down to occur during a shift change at about 3 or 4 p.m.
The Office of Miners' Health Safety and Training authorizes all inspectors to begin going through all coal mines to assist mine operators in the safety one-hour stand down.
Authorities are sending every available inspector and supervisor to ensure every mine in West Virginia meets safety guidelines.
This statewide safety stand down comes on the heels of recent mine tragedies that have recently occurred in West Virginia. To read more, click on the links below:
