Email me when a new MSHA incident is filed at any mine Tommy Joe Owens controls.
THE VICTIM WAS 2PERATING A SCOOP ON ROUTE TO THE SURFACE TO PICK UP MAINTENANCE SUPPLIES, WHEN HE APPARENTLY GOT HIS HEAD CAUGHT BETWEEN THE SCOOP AND THE MINE ROOF, RESULTING IN HIS DEATH.
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.
