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.

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.

Grimmett Brothers Inc · Struck against a moving object

Employee was dressing stockpile edges with a Caterpillar 962H front-end loader when he drove across a deep wash in the road next to the stockpile, causing the operator's seat to bottom out jarring his back and causing minor discomfort at the time. Over the weekend discomfort and pain increased to the point he decided to see his chiropractor on Monday 5/6/13.
