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.

These figures describe the surrounding county, not this mine, and are not a factor in any specific incident.

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
After a wiper blade came loose on the screen discharge conveyor belt, employee and 2 other coworkers were attempting to secure the wiper blade's pivot arm to the belt frame with a wire. During the process, the wire came loose, and employee's hand became pinched between the crusher's frame and the wiper blade's pivot arm, resulting in a cut to the palm of their right hand.
Employee kneeled down to look at controls on a vac truck, EE felt EE's right knee pop. Conservative care until September - MRI was done. Then referral to ortho for MRI results. No tear, but the ortho Dr. ordered PT, making this a recordable injury, reason for delay in reporting. On 9/27 - PT was ordered but on 10-11 it was confirmed that PT was necessary along with injections.
