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.

CLARENDON QUARRY sits in Rutland County, Vermont, where the Census mining category is 0.5% 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.

While attempting to free a piece of stuck cardboard from a conveyor the employee held on with their hands and attempted to jump up and dislodge it with their feet. Employee pulled themselves forward and stomped down hitting their left shin and knee against a steel beam.
While relacing a conveyor belt, pulled the conveyor together and it slid onto the employee's left leg resulting in a bruise. In order to be safe, we sent the employee to medical to be evaluated for further injury. No additional injury was reported and the employee was informed to ice and rest. Employee was ordered to continue working with modification for 7 days.
