Unresolved by these partnership agreements, and the likely reason that they have not been more widely adopted, is their effect on the mine owner s tort liability exposure. No assurances from MSHA can protect the owner from tort liability in the event that death or injury occurs to an employee of a contractor that the mine owner has obligated itself to assist in training, for example. The assumption of such responsibilities by the mining company, notwithstanding its disclaimers and protestations to the contrary, will almost certainly be deemed an assumption of a duty by the mining company and result in an increased likeHhood of tort liability in the event of an accident (Rajkovich 1998).
