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.

The lessons-learned records and the press releases are ANM's own layers, smaller than the register; one emergency can appear in all three.
“Cuatro trabajadores perdieron la vida tras quedar atrapados en una mina de carbón ubicada en la vereda El Carmen, en el municipio de Landázuri, Santander, luego de una emergencia registrada al interior del yacimiento.”
ANM acompaña atención de emergencia minera en Landázuri, Santander
“En otras tres emergencias que se presentaron durante el pasado fin de semana en minas ilícitas ubicadas en Landázuri, Santander, Ataco, Tolima y Remedios, Antioquia, la ausencia de condiciones mínimas de seguridad impidió las intervenciones efectivas de rescatistas ocasionando que 12 trabajadores perdieran la vida.”
Rescate de mineros en Antioquia evidencia eficacia en protocolos de seguridad promovidos por ANM
“El accidente deja hasta el momento tres víctimas fatales, mientras que dos mineros siguen desaparecidos.”
Each event is what one ANM press release states, with the sentence it rests on quoted verbatim. Tolls in a rescue-in-progress release are provisional; a later release about the same event is a separate entry. The count is a floor.
