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.

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.

Glacier County Road Department · Over-exertion (Not Elsewhere Classified)

EE stated they slipped getting off D8 CAT dozer at the gravel pit and twisted a knee. No witnesses to this accident, and EE didn't report this to a supervisor at any time. I was notified of the incident when EE filed first report for workman's comp on 5/12/17 with HR. People did see EE limping and asked about it, but EE didn't report this to anyone. Date & time are in question.
