Data Source and Calculation
<p>Data is collected from reports of serious personal injuries and fatalities submitted by licensed coal mine operators throughout the year, and the reports of employee work hours reported by licensed coal mine operators on their annual tonnage reports submitted to the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME). The rate is calculated as the number of serious personal injuries and fatalities per 200,000 work hours. This measure is calculated on a calendar year basis. Worker hours are not available unitl April for the previous year, so numbers reported between January and April should be considered preliminary. DMME evaluates the five-year rolling average of this rate to determine the trend.</p>
