principal officer in charge of health and safety at the mine or the 

supervisor of the mine area in which an accident or occupational injury 

occurs, or an occupational illness may have originated, shall complete 

or review the form in accordance with the instructions and criteria in 

Sec. Sec.  50.20-1 through 50.20-7. If an occupational illness is 

diagnosed as being one of those listed in Sec.  50.20-6(b)(7), the

completed forms to MSHA within ten working days after an accident or 

occupational injury occurs or an occupational illness is diagnosed. When 

an accident specified in Sec.  50.10 occurs, which does not involve an

for each miner affected. To the extent that the form is not self-

explanatory, an operator shall complete the form in accordance with the 

instructions in Sec.  50.20-1 and criteria contained in Sec. Sec.  

50.20-2 through 50.20-7.
