While leaving the continuous miner enroute to the roof bolter to check on the roof bolting crew, I turned the corner and was struck on the back of head and neck driving me to the floor. The rock was approx. 4' x 2' x 12" tapering to 3". The coal seam being mined was approx. 4 ft.

MSHA sampling at Integrity shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.43 mg/m3 (94% compliant) across 126 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.0.43

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
