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.

Worker was "barring down" feed material in an attempt to clear a "plug" in the cone crusher. During the process, the worker injured his left, "pinky" finger (most likely when the worker's finger was "pinched" between the bar, and another object - cone, rock, etc). The worker was wearing gloves at the time of the incident.
