The Administrators for Coal and Metal and Nonmetal should re-instruct Family Liaisons to keep a log of significant events. The Administrators should direct revisions to the instructions in the Headquarters Mine Emergency Response Guidelines and the Accident/Illness Investigations Procedures Handbooks to clarify that notes should be recorded privately away from the areas where families are gathered and at a time that does not disrupt the interaction between the liaisons and the family members.
