MSHA sampling at Elkville No.1 Mine shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.44 mg/m3 (96% compliant) across 50 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.

The operator was shoveling under a belt line, the man claimed his back was sore and painful, he went to a doctor after the shift and told us about it the next day. He did not report to the supervisor at 5:00 PM same day. We are not sure he is hurt or faking it.
