Pricing
The record is free.
The work is what costs.
Everything here comes from public federal records, and you could request all of it yourself. That is not a weakness in the product, it is the whole premise: we do not sell access to public data, because selling access to public data is a toll booth. We sell the work of assembling it.
Where the line runs
The ruleFacts about a single mine, operator, or incident.
- What happened, where, and when
- Citations, penalties, and inspections per entity
- Search across every incident narrative
- Email alerts on anything you name
The three things that take real work on top of the facts.
- Scale. Reading many entities at once
- Interpretation. A record against a benchmark
- An artifact. Something you can attach to an email or a filing
Two things we will not do
CommitmentsIf it is free today it is free tomorrow. When we build something new we differentiate upward, never by taking away. A mining safety instructor teaches with this site and inspectors use it. Charging them later for what they already rely on would be a bad trade even if it were profitable.
Fatality records, the preliminary reports that land before MSHA's official file, and the alerts that carry them are free. They will not be part of any paid tier.
Free, with no account and no card
The whole record- Every reportable incident MSHA has published since 2000, and Part 50 accident records back to 1983.
- Citations, penalties, inspections and fatalities for every mine, operator and controller.
- Full-text search across incident narratives, filtered by state, year, commodity and classification.
- Email alerts on any mine, operator, controller or saved search, including preliminary fatality notices. No cap.
- Research notes, disaster records, and the derived health surfaces: respirable silica, methane, noise.
- A free endpoint for software: the fatality count, and what other people have asked us to build.
What you can buy
Three shapesOne operator's entire federal record as a PDF you can attach. The line-item citation history rather than the totals this site shows, penalties proposed against paid, contest and docket posture, repeat-violation patterns, and the injury rate set against a benchmark built from the full MSHA operator record.
Ships with the underlying data as CSV so every figure is checkable. Turnaround is 24 to 48 hours, because a person checks it.
The same idea aimed at a public company: the mine-safety disclosures it files under Dodd-Frank, set against what MSHA actually recorded for the mines it controls. Built for anyone who needs to know whether a filing matches the enforcement record behind it.
The free alerts fire when something happens at an entity you named: an incident, a fatality, a preliminary notice. Nothing free will email you when an operator's citations start climbing. That is what this does. It watches the enforcement record rather than the incidents, so it can tell you an operator is deteriorating before anything happens at all, and it runs in either direction.
Hand us a list of mines, operators and controllers. You get a baseline on each, then a weekly digest that ranks the book by what is deteriorating rather than listing everything that moved. For insurers, brokers and consultancies with named exposure.
Tell us the CFR standard your business exists to fix. Each month you get the operators newly cited under it in your territory, flagged for which had never been cited under it before. For safety vendors, whose prospects are the operators an inspector just put in writing.
Cancel whenever. If a month turns up nothing in your territory we send an email saying exactly that, rather than an empty file. Volume varies a lot by territory and standard, and we tell you the real number for yours before you pay.
You can read a full report before buying anything. See the Peabody Energy sample.
Per call, if you are software
x402The API is priced per request in USDC on Base over x402, so an agent can pay for one answer without an account, a contract, or a sales call. No minimum and no subscription. The machine-readable catalogue is free to read at /api/x402.
| Call | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Fatality count | free | The current total, unmetered |
| One fatality record | $0.005 | A single incident in full |
| Fatality feed | $0.01 | Filterable by date, state, commodity |
| Mine record | $0.01 | One mine, current status and history |
| Inspections | $0.01 | Inspection activity |
| Operator record | $0.02 | One operator across every mine worked |
| Safety rates | $0.02 | Normalized per 200k employee hours |
| Operator contact | $0.02 | Address of record, privacy screened |
| Name resolution | $0.02 | A messy company name to a federal id |
| Operator dossier | $2.00 | The full compiled record in one call |
A fatality record costs half a cent and a dossier costs two dollars because the price tracks the work behind the answer, not what the traffic would bear. A single record is a lookup. A dossier is every citation, penalty, inspection and death for an operator, reconciled and normalized, which is what the $149 report is built from.
Something else
Quoted, not listedPlenty of what people need is not on this page. We have built one-off cuts for specific buyers: every contractor cited under the training standards outside two states, every operator cited under the fire-protection standards in a given territory, bulk snapshots for model training. Those are quoted rather than listed, because the price depends entirely on how much of it there is.
