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.

HANDLING OF MATERIALS
High Roller Sand · Struck by... (Not Elsewhere Classified)
Employee was working on the air actuated knife gate. The ram that attaches to the gate was disconnected from the gate. The gate was in the down position with the ram being in the up position. EE was spinning the piece that attaches the ram to the gate up the threaded part of the ram and the water pressure coming into the freshwater tank pushed it up into EE's finger.
