Common questions
What is an MSHA fatalgram?
An MSHA fatalgram is a one-page alert MSHA publishes after a mining fatality, summarizing what happened and the conditions involved. Mining Incidents indexes these alongside the full accident record for every reportable US mining death since 1983.
Where can I find official MSHA fatality reports?
Each fatality above links to MSHA’s official document where one exists, plus the complete incident record — mine, operator, cause, occupation, and the investigator’s narrative — drawn from MSHA’s public accident file.
How current is this list?
New fatalities appear within about a week of being filed in MSHA’s accident file. MSHA’s preliminary alerts often appear within days of the accident and are surfaced on the recent-fatalities feed first.
