Each row is one emergency as ANM registers it. The mine's name is shown without the name of whoever works it, and the holder the register prints is never shown. The expediente is the one ANM prints. "Reported, not attended" marks emergencies ANM registered without its team attending.

An emergency is linked to a company only when ANM prints the expediente of a title on which the cadastre lists the company by NIT, and that expediente matches a single cadastre record. The department has 26 titles in the cadastre.
