Health sampling
A sample is a point in time compliance measurement, not an individual exposure history. These figures describe MSHA sampling records and do not establish causation or personal dose.

Metal and nonmetal contaminants (personal samples)
Many samples are screening measurements of substances with no applicable exposure limit; they are counted as samples but excluded from every over-limit figure. Over-limit shares use only limit-tested samples.

Amrize Coleman Quarry sits in Johnston County, Oklahoma, where the Census mining category is 5.7% of county employment.

Local economic context
County figures come from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 5-year pooled estimates, so the 2023 vintage covers 2019 through 2023. The Census category is 'mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction', which is broader than MSHA jurisdiction and includes oil and gas workers no mine employs. These figures describe the surrounding county, not this mine, and are not a factor in any specific incident.

Two employees were moving pallets of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). One employee was using a pallet jack and the other employee was operating a forklift. The pallet jack became stuck under a pallet of DEF. The employee pulled forcefully on the pallet jack, it came free and the employee stumbled back hitting EE's back on the end of one of the raised forks of the forklift.
