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.
