Recent Fatalgrams and Fatal Investigation Reports Metal/Nonmetal Mines
To help quickly identify recent fatalities we are providing you with this page. The fatalities on this page are listed chronologically. We will list the latest fatality first. It will encompass a period of about 1 month.
"Fatality Overviews"... If a report has an overview, the button to that report will indicate so. These reports are offered in Microsoft's PowerPoint ® or PDF. You will need Adobe's PDF Reader. If you need more information on this, see this page.
"Fatality Overviews", slide shows regarding fatal accidents, are another part of the Mine Safety and Health Administration's program to share information with the mining community. We encourage you to share these presentations with your supervisors and miners to assist your efforts to prevent similar accidents.
