China says major coal mine accident deaths fall?

(Alert net August 07,2006) BEIJING, Aug 7 (Reuters) - The number of deaths in major coal mine accidents in China, home to the world's deadliest mining industry, fell almost 60 percent in the first seven months of 2006 but 371 people still died, the government said on Monday.

Accidents occur almost daily in China's coal-mining industry. Last year, nearly 6,000 miners died in 3,300 blasts, floods and other accidents as mine owners push production beyond safety limits in the rush for soaring profits brought by booming demand.

In the January-July period this year, there were 19 coal mine accidents in which more than 10 people died, 11 less than the year-ago period, the State Administration of Work Safety said on its Web site (www.chinasafety.gov.cn).
