Email me when a new MSHA incident is filed at any mine Michael Cline controls.
THE VICTIM CRAWLED UNDER THE BOOM OF THE MINER, WITHOUT ANYONE'S KNOWLEDGE, PROBABLY TO TRY TO REPAIR A HYDRAULIC LEAK. APPARENTLY THE FITTING STRIPPED, CAUSING THE BOOM TO FALL CRUSHING THE V ICTIM.
MSHA's standard limits respirable silica to 50 micrograms per cubic metre, but MSHA publishes dust and quartz as separate files and never the silica figure itself. We derive it per sample, score it against the limit, and set the operator's injury rate against a benchmark built from the full MSHA operator record. With the 26-year penalty trail, contest posture, and fatality history. Delivered as a PDF with the underlying data as CSV.
The federal record itself stays free on this site. What costs money, and why.
