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.

Summit Mine Site recorded 4.92 reportable injury cases per 100 full-time workers in 2013.
Injury rate, 2013
ⓘ
This rate is reportable injury cases per 100 full-time-equivalent workers per year, computed as 200,000 times cases divided by MSHA operator-reported employee-hours. Cases are injuries MSHA graded degree 01 through 07; accident-only events that hurt no one are excluded, and so are contractor injuries, whose hours do not attach to a single mine. Rates begin in 2000, when quarterly employment reporting starts, and are withheld below 20,000 hours in a year.4.92
total case rate
4.92
days-away rate

fatality rate
Above average. The US metal and nonmetal mining average was 2.46 and the all-US-mining average was 2.99 cases per 100 workers.
In New Mexico, metal and nonmetal mining averaged 1.50 cases per 100 workers that year.
Under 100,000 employee-hours were reported that year, so a single case moves the rate by two or more. Read the figure as approximate.

Lordsburg Mining Company · Accident type, without injuries
A miner hauling ore noticed an "odd light" and stopped his truck. Flames shot into the operator's compartment and he could not get the fire extinguisher. Due to extensive damage to the truck, the exact cause of the fire is uncertain. We suspect that a flammable liquid in the engine compartment ignited by engine heat or an electrical spark. The truck is a total loss.

HANDLING OF MATERIALS
