MSHA sampling at Reese's Branch Mine shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.19 mg/m3 (99% compliant) across 284 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.

Watering roads, going up hill the truck stalled out and began to roll backwards, employee turned it into berm to stop it and the loaded water truck overturned.
Service truck had pulled out of the pit area and the head lights went dim. Service operator pulled to the top of the hill to check the problem with the head lights. Once at the top of the hill he was checking the lights and noticed the truck was smoking from the rear of the truck. The truck started to burn on the back.
The driver began backing onto the drill bench when he felt the brakes go soft. He reacted by turning the steering wheel of the truck abruptly to the left causing the truck to turn onto its side.
The blaster helper was driving Kenworth Truck up steep grade at mine site. The back wheels started to spin & bounce, causing drive shaft to break. Due to weight of material on truck, truck started sliding back down the steep grade. Blaster helper jumped from truck & sprained his left ankle. Which will result in the blaster helper being off work for 3 scheduled work days.
