ⓘ
Esta tasa son las citaciones registradas divididas entre las horas de inspección de la MSHA, por cada 100 horas. Refleja el esfuerzo de inspección, no el tamaño de la mina ni la producción.ⓘ
Una orden bajo la Sección 107(a) retira a los mineros de un área cuando un inspector detecta un peligro inminente. Cada orden se levanta una vez corregida la condición, por lo que esto cuenta las órdenes emitidas, no las que están en vigor ahora.ⓘ
Las diferencias entre las multas propuestas y las pagadas reflejan tanto acuerdos y reducciones en conferencia como montos aun adeudados. Pendiente es el saldo que se debe actualmente.ⓘ
Las proporciones se calculan sobre las citaciones que llevan la codificación de gravedad y negligencia de la MSHA; una pequeña parte de los registros no está codificada.ⓘ
Esta tasa son los casos de lesión reportables por cada 100 trabajadores a tiempo completo por año, calculada como 200,000 por los casos dividido entre las horas-empleado reportadas por el operador a la MSHA. Los casos son lesiones que la MSHA clasificó en grado 01 a 07; se excluyen los eventos de solo accidente que no lesionaron a nadie, y también las lesiones de contratistas, cuyas horas no corresponden a una sola mina. Las tasas comienzan en el año 2000, cuando inicia el reporte trimestral de empleo, y se omiten por debajo de 20,000 horas en un año.| Año | tasa de casos totales | días perdidos | mortales |

9 registradasAn employee was operating a CAT 390F excavator in the South Quarry Pit. The machine went into the water and sank to a depth of approximately 25 feet. Consistent with 103K order modifications approved by MSHA, the operator was recovered the following day.
Employee was assisting repair/replace toggle plate and toggle plate bearings on the jaw crusher when they suffered a pinning type injury.
A contract miner died when the compactor EE was operating overturned, pinning EE beneath the cab. As the compactor was traveling in reverse, the compactor's left tire went off a four-foot embankment causing the compactor to overturn.
Employee was operating a pick-up truck on the -330 bench. A haul truck turned onto the -330 bench. The haul truck operator indicated they did not see the pick-up truck resulting in fatal injuries.
Plant Manager aggravated a pre-existing injury to the right heel tearing a blood blister while walking over a level drill bench. On July 20th, EE died after complications following surgery after an x-ray revealed a broken right heel bone and torn achilles tendon.
Pending Investigation - Victim was leveling material in a trench made for laying electrical conduit, manager was operating front-end loader above. The front-end loader was being used to back fill the trench when the bank collapsed causing the front-end loader to slide into the trench. The victim was fatally injured when victim was pinned between loader and jersey block.
The injured employee was working in the North East corner of the pit loading shot rock. While waiting for the haul truck to return to the muck pile, the excavator was struck by several large rocks. No one witnessed the accident. The haul truck driver discovered the accident scene and rescue/recovery efforts begun. The excavator operator was fatally injured.
Employee was operating a haul truck transporting material from the wash bins to a stockpile located Northwest of two settling ponds. On the return trip to the wash bins, the haul truck traveled through a berm on the left side of the haul road, went over an embankment and overturned on its left side in the settling pond.
Where Vulcan Materials Company stands on silica, penalties, and injury rate
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.
