HANDLING OF MATERIALS · ALL OTHER CASES (INCL 1ST AID)
Accident narrative
This incident was initially a first aid when evaluated on 7/29/26. On 8/6/26 for a follow up appt. the employee was prescribed antibiotics resulting in this being reportable. On 7/29/26 while moving pud locks the employee's hand sustained an impact injury resulting in first aid.
HANDLING OF MATERIALS · NO DYS AWY FRM WRK,NO RSTR ACT
Accident narrative
The employee was attempting to calibrate the TA duct damper with a manual handle. While operating the gate with the LCB, the damper was moved to a fully open position. The employee applied firm pressure to move the manual operation handle, the counterweight pulled down, and the handle began spinning rapidly in an uncontrollable manner with heavy force.
HANDLING OF MATERIALS · DAYS AWAY FROM WORK ONLY
Accident narrative
EE stated they were collecting quality control samples from the stage 6 sample port when they were splashed by hot material on their left hand, burning through the glove.
MACHINERY · NO DYS AWY FRM WRK,NO RSTR ACT
Accident narrative
The mechanic was climbing out of a small man door after making repairs to the chute when the angle grinder they were using inadvertently turned on, cutting the employee's arm. The employee was taken to the hospital for treatment and returned to work today. Installing another door for safer access to the chute.
HANDTOOLS (NONPOWERED) · DAYS AWAY FROM WORK ONLY
Accident narrative
Employee was clearing the opening of a vertical discharge pipe for the Cement Kiln Dust (CKD). The discharge of previous ckd had prevented the flow of discharge and had created a back-up. Employee used a rake to remove blockage at which point the material quickly flowed from pipe causing ckd to go airborne dusting the employee. The employee inhaled the material.
Safety sources and definitions
MSHA Violations (issue date), Accidents (accident date), and Inspections (begin date). Snapshot 2026-10-18.
Counts describe published rows, including contractor records; accident records are not distinct incidents or numbers of people injured.
Zero means no matching records in the imported sources, not proof of no events. Historical coverage differs by source; absence before a source begins reporting is not a zero incident rate. Invalid or absent dates and records after the snapshot are excluded.
S&S means SIG_SUB=Y. Fatality records use DEGREE_INJURY_CD=01. Proposed penalties are not final assessed or paid amounts; missing dollar values are omitted.
Inspection hours are SUM_TOTAL_ON_SITE_HOURS attributed to the inspection start date, without supervisor/trainee hours. Missing hours are omitted; a started inspection may still be open.
Portfolio totals use current mine membership, including events before the current owner or operator's tenure.
CFR headings link to the current Title 30 index; they are not historical legal determinations.
OWNERSHIP
Operator and controller history
Current ownership comes from MSHA Mines. Historical start and end dates come from MSHA Controller and Operator History.

Silica and quartz
Coal quartz, metal/nonmetal personal samples and area samples. Snapshot Oct 18, 2026. 4 silica records across the mine’s published history.
Personal silica samples · concentration / limit
Quarterly mean · published C/E ratio
— No eligible measurements. * Quarter in progress. Means describe the available samples, not average exposure across the mine.
Quartz % is the sample’s quartz content; µg/m³ is its reported concentration. Personal C/E is the ratio to the limit published with that sample. Personal and area concentration units and void status are not specified in those source files.
| Date / sample | Dataset / analyte | Occupation / area | Measurement | Sample status | Published action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No silica records match these filters. Missing samples do not establish safe conditions. | |||||
Sources and interpretation
- Coal means use numeric concentrations from samples marked not voided, excluding control/invalid sample types and dates after the snapshot. Missing values remain null; reported zeroes remain zero.
- Quarterly means describe available samples, not mine-wide or worker-average exposure. Quarters with no eligible measurements remain empty; the current quarter is partial.
- Personal C/E is MSHA's published concentration-to-limit ratio. A value above 1 is not by itself a citation or a determination under the 2024 silica rule. Personal and area files do not publish a void-status field.
- Area records include bulk-dust analyses and are kept separate from personal exposure results. Their concentration units are not specified in the source dictionary.
- Missing samples do not establish safe conditions. Coal quartz percentage and concentration are separate measures. No compliance threshold is inferred for coal samples.
