Accident, Illness and Injury and
Employment Self-Extracting Files
(PART 50 DATA)


These "self-extracting" files are the actual information (raw data) from the accident and injury MSHA Form 7000-2 filed with MSHA by mining operators and contractors as required under the 30 CFR Part 50.

These data files must be loaded into a data base of your choice, in order to be read. The field descriptions (record layouts) for constructing this data base may be found in the handbook. Once the data base is built, you may import the data files into the data base.


"Source and Scope of Data" and "Definition of Terms" for these files can be found in the Part 50 Diskette User's Handbook. This is provided to you in three formats. The formats are ASCII text, Wordperfect 6.0, or PDF. You may download the file of your choice.

Please Note: These raw data files may include reports of injuries beyond the closed quarter date and may not match published MSHA reports for the closed quarter.

PC7014 Report on 30 CFR Part 50
    MSHA is making this publication available on-line for the convenience of the mining community. It is intended to assist our stakeholders when filing MSHA Forms 7000-1 Mine Accident, Injury and Illness Report and 7000-2 Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Report.

    It is important that adequate information be supplied so that MSHA can properly analyze accident, injury and illness data. These reports are used by MSHA to evaluate and develop standards and programs that benefit the industry.

    This circular is intended to be informational and provide support to our stakeholders. It is not intended to take the place of the requirements and policies of MSHA.

These files contain data collected by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under Part 50 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 30 Part 50). As a convenience, NIOSH has converted these files to two popular formats: dBase IV and SPSS (which includes labels and coding information). Although some computed convenience fields have been added, no new data has been added, and no corrections have been made to the information provided by MSHA. All files are in self-extracting compressed DOS/Windows EXE format.

We wish to thank NIOSH for their assistance in providing you this information in this format.
