MSHA and the state Office of Miners’ Health, Safety and Training did not investigate the Nov. 8, 2005 death of driver Chad Cook because it occurred on a road and not on mine property. MSHA, however, has changed its mind after deciding the road was covered by a state mine permit, Administrator for Coal Mine Health and Safety Kevin Stricklin said.
