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.Peach County, Georgia · Population 28,269

SLIP OR FALL OF PERSON
Atlanta Sand and Supply Co. · Fall onto or against objects
The miner was starting up the dredge and while doing so was on EE's phone and did not observe that the water nozzle was coming around to the right too far. The water struck the side door of the dredge and the miner knocking EE down and causing EE to strike the side EE's head on the microwave oven. This caused a laceration to EE's scalp of 6 inches.
