US mining controllers ranked by the number of Section 107(a) imminent-danger withdrawal orders MSHA has issued across all their mines. Click a company for its full record.

A Section 107(a) order removes miners from an area when an MSHA inspector finds an imminent danger; each is lifted once the condition is corrected, so this counts orders issued over time, not orders now in effect.
