MSHA sampling at Highway 59 Mine No. 1 shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.14 mg/m3 (100% compliant) across 38 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.
Citations per million employee-hours, as reported to MSHA
While being loaded by an excavator, a high wall approx. 50 feet away, collapsed sending unconsolidated material into the haul truck. Employee exited his cab and surveyed the situation (while on the truck), when the material began moving, sending the truck over another high wall. The employee jumped off his truck and tumbled down the high wall sustaining multiple injuries.
Employee was checking water level on equipment. He unsecured the cap with his foot & it had no pressure on the cap so he removed the cap from the radiator with his right hand. About the time he raised up, the radiator began to blow hot water out & hit his right arm, face, back & right leg.
