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.

Local economic context

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.

Quarterly safety rates

EE came on to our premises looking over the rocks we have at our facility. He is a regular customer that uses the rocks for his landscaping jobs in the area. Upon looking he was moving a rock which shifted others and one came down upon his right ankle pinning it between 2 large rocks. Our crew heard him and was there immediately and pulled his leg out. We called the ambulance.
