MSHA sampling at McClure #9 Operation shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.10 mg/m3 (100% compliant) across 33 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.

We have no information as the state police could not find any witnesses on accident scene. We also called the local police and they could not give us any information because it was being treated criminal matter. Trespasser on ATV collided with cable gate resulted in a fatality.
