MINING INDUSTRY ACCIDENT, INJURIES, EMPLOYMENT, AND PRODUCTION DATA (HISTORICAL STATISTICS, 1931-2001)

Description:

Mining industry accident, injuries, employment and production data are given between the years 1931-2001. In 1983, the U.S. Congress limited the Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) enforcement activities over surface mining and milling of stone, clay, feldspar, colloidal phosphate, and sand and gravel, as well as over independent construction contractors working at areas of all surface mines apart from the mining activity. Thus, only partial year data are available for 1983.
