Email me when a new MSHA incident is filed at any American Salt Company mine.
THE INJURED MAN WAS REPAIRING BUCKETS ON THE BUCKET ELEVATOR WHEN THE MILL OPERATOR STARTED THE BUCKET ELEVATOR. THE MILL OPERATOR WAS NOT AWARE OF THE WORK BEING DONE ON THIS ELEVATOR DUE TO A LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND THE EQUIPMENT WAS NOT LOCKED OUT OR TAGGED AS REQUIRED.
MSHA's standard limits respirable silica to 50 micrograms per cubic metre, but MSHA publishes dust and quartz as separate files and never the silica figure itself. We derive it per sample, score it against the limit, and set the operator's injury rate against a benchmark built from the full MSHA operator record. With the 26-year penalty trail, contest posture, and fatality history. Delivered as a PDF with the underlying data as CSV.
The federal record itself stays free on this site. What costs money, and why.
