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.

Evans Gravel sits in Hamilton County, Ohio, where the Census mining category is 0.0% 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.

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.

A SCREEN DEVELOPED A HOLE IN IT. WE TOOK THE OLD SCREEN OUT THEN WENT AND GOT A NEW SCREEN AND LIFTED IT WITH THE SKID STEER TO EE, WHO WAS ON THE CAT WALK. HE LIFTED THE SCREEN OFF OF THE SKID STEER BUCKET AND BALANCED IT ON THE HANDRAIL. HE MENTIONED THAT SOMETHING POPPED IN HIS ARM. I CALLED AND RECEIVED MORE HELP WITH THE SCREEN AND EE RAN THE LOADER THE REST OF THE DAY
