The 1988 Fatal Illustration Program is divided into four large subject areas. These categories are underground coal mining, surface coal mining, underground metal/nonmetal mining, and surface metal/nonmetal mining. The materials in this unit include illustrated abstracts of all chargeable surface-coal-mining fatalities for the second six months of 1988 accompanied by 35-mm slides and a statistical analysis of the accidents in that category. The package of materials, through its abstracts, slides, and statistics, has been an effective training tool for the mining industry, especially small mines. The program has been used by various companies in safety meetings, annual refresher training, new miner training, and task training.
