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.

Seabrook Plant sits in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, where the Census mining category is 0.0% 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.

July 26, 2011 NH · Metal/Non-Metal outside foreman, leadman HANDLING OF MATERIALS
Seabrook Hardrock · Struck by falling object

Individual was hit on the head by a guard panel that came down on the miner's head presumably not having been secured properly by that individual. He was wearing his hard hat, when I was notified by the miner I offered to take him to the local hospital but he declined finished the day and went to a walk in clinic on his way home
