Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5179860

The 1990 Fatal Illustration Program is divided into four categories or subject areas. These categories are underground coal mining; surface coal mining; underground metal/nonmetal mining; and surface metal/nonmetal mining. Fatalities in each category are grouped by accident type. The materials in the unit include illustrated abstracts (summaries) of all chargeable surface coal mining fatalities for the second six months of 1990 accompanied by 35mm slides. A statistical analysis is included for fatalities that occurred during July through December 1990. The analysis examines the following areas: the victim's experience, the accident classification, the victim's occupation, and the size of the mine where the fatality occurred. Tables are included in the package. They are divided into first half and second half data for 1990. The tables tabulate age and experience of the victim, accident classification and occupation of the victim, and mine size and location of the accident. A slide index is also included which helps locate fatalities for a particular occupation, accident classification, location, and mine size. Eight fatal accidents occurred at surface coal mines during July through December 1990.
