OSTI ID:5325729
Injury experience in the coal-mining industry was worse in 1965 as both the frequency and severity rates of injuries increased 2 and 6 percent, respectively, over comparable data for 1964. The retrogression in the safety record during 1965 resulted from the less favorable record at bituminous-coal mines, which more than offset the improved injury experience at anthracite mines. The 259 fatal and 11,138 nonfatal injuries occurred at a rate of 45.77 per million man-hours of exposure and resulted in a severity rate of 8,960 days lost per million man-hours. Although the number of fatalities was the second lowest annual total in the recorded history, it was 17 higher than in 1964. At anthracite operations the total of 8 fatalities in 1965 was the lowest annual figure in statistical history. The annual numbers of nonfatal injuries at all coal mines and the resulting rates of occurrence have varied little in the past 5 years.
