Employee-hours (2000+)
Rates use contractor-reported employee-hours as the denominator. About 2% of reported hours are dropped as duplicate filings, so the hours total runs slightly low and any per-hour rate reads slightly high. Quarters filed with zero hours are excluded, and hours are reported only from 2000 on.

Fatalities / million hrs
The recorded deaths predate MSHA's contractor employee-hours data, which begins in 2000, so no rate can be computed.

Appalachian Fuels, LLC · Struck by falling object

Victim was removing a machine bottom guard (belly pan) on a Caterpillar D-10 N dozer. Apparently the chain he was using to hold the belly pan while he was removing the bolts that held it in place slipped when the bolts were removed. The belly pan swung down and struck the victim inflicting fatal injuries
