  The Safety Pays in Mining web application uses aggregate injury cost data to show cost distributions for typical injuries that can affect mine workers. The cost data are derived from a decade of compensation claims filed by mine workers in Ohio. This web application brings awareness to companies about the unknown costs of injuries and the distribution of these costs. The web application is now available for use on the NIOSH Mining webpage at: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/content/economics/safetypays.html. [Description provided by NIOSH]
