Miner was repairing broken chain link on drill. A wooden block was placed under the broken area to support the weight of the chain. The drill operator boomed the mast back up to change the link safely on the deck. Forgot to secure the wooden block. The block fell out from 8 feet up, striking the employee in the top of head, resulting in 9 staples.

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.0.21
