Morton Aggregate, LLC sits in Putnam County, Indiana, where the Census mining category is 0.7% of county employment.
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.

He worked the entire next day & woke up in the middle of the night w/eye pain. On the 17th he called in & went to the eye dr where they dug a piece of steel out of his eye.
