MSHA sampling at BRC Alabama No. 4 LLC shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.10 mg/m3 (100% compliant) across 66 samples.
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.
Respirable coal dust
ⓘRespirable coal dust and silica figures cover coal facilities. Dust compliance is measured against the current 1.5 mg/m3 standard; samples predating the 2014 standard are included, so compliance rates are a coarse historical signal.
Quarterly safety rates
ⓘCitations per million reported employee-hours. Rates begin in 2000, when MSHA's quarterly employment data starts; earlier incidents are counted but cannot be rate-adjusted. Quarters under 100,000 reported hours are greyed: too few hours for a stable rate.

Cold weather made the pipe more brittle than normal. Typically the pipe can be cut to a certain point then the pipe can be broken with the equipment to finish the break. Under normal conditions the pipe could have been broken this way. Due to the cold weather making the pipe brittle the amount that was cut was not strong enough to keep from breaking on its own.
