CHARLESTON, W.Va.
A West Virginia company is working on a piece of equipment designed to keep miners safer.
Trinity Resources demonstrated its a mobile mine safety chamber this week at the West Virginia Mining Symposium in Charleston.
The company headquartered in Putnam County has been working on the project for about three years.
The device resembles a big steel box on bulldozer tracks and is designed to keep underground miners safe in the event of an explosion or collapse.
The Daily Mail reports that the aptly named Guardian Angel contains enough oxygen to keep 15 miners alive for up to four days. Food, first aid gear and water also can be placed under the floor panels in the chamber. And it's also equipped with a toilet.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Coal operators across the country are changing the way they work, and mines are becoming safer, but the head of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration said Thursday there are still too many who "don't get it."
In a speech at the West Virginia Coal Association's annual mining symposium, MSHA chief Joe Main said his inspectors can't be in every mine at every shift, and companies need to take more responsibility for running coal safely. Those who don't, he warned, can expect to face tough penalties.

CHARLESTON — The coal industry is in an era of change that industry leaders and regulators are discussing at the West Virginia Coal Association's annual mining symposium in Charleston.
The head of the Mine Safety and Health Administration will tell operators what to expect in 2012 on Thursday, while Virginia's Alpha Natural Resources will talk about its own initiatives.
Alpha bought Massey Energy last summer and has agreed to a federal settlement that could lead to new safety and technology programs.
The deal stemmed from the 2010 explosion of the Upper Big Branch mine.
