Fatal Alert Bulletins, Fatalgrams*
and Fatal Investigation Reports |
 |
Fatal alert bulletins and fatalgrams are part of the Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) program to alert the mining industry in a timely manner of a tragic loss of life in the mines. The above information is provided to organizations and individuals who may be able to enhance safety awareness in the industry. We encourage you to consider the information as you make safety decisions for or recommendations to your company or constituency. Recipients are asked to further distribute these bulletins in order to assure the widest possible circulation. Industry cooperation in this effort is essential to carry the message to the mining community.
The information provided in these notices is based on preliminary data ONLY and does not represent final determinations regarding the nature of the incident or conclusions regarding the causes of the fatality.
"Fatality Overviews" are now available. 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. |
