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.
