Email me when a new MSHA incident is filed at any Toney'S Branch Coal Company mine.
SHUTTLE CAR DRIFTED OFF BLOCKS. THE SHUTTLE CAR HAD BEEN RAISED ADN BLOCKED TO ALLOW REPAIR WORK ON THE CONVEYOR. THE VICTIM HAD POSITIONED HIMSELF UNDER THE SHUTTLE CAR TO PERFORM THE REPAI R WORK WHEN THE SHUTTLE CAR ROLLED OFF THE BLOCKING, CRUSHING HIM AGAINST THE MINE FLOOR.
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.
