Nonmetal mining operations were located in all states and territories except Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Employees: A total of 22,864 employees, corresponding to 23,265 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, were reported to MSHA by nonmetal mine operators in 2007. 1. Within the mining sectors, nonmetal mine operator employees accounted for 6.9% of all employee hours reported. 2. Employee hours were reported at underground (10.7%) and surface (89.3%) work locations. Fatalities: There was one work-related fatality in nonmetal mines in 2007. There were no fatalities in 2006. Nonfatal Lost-time Injuries: There were 508 nonfatal lost-time injuries (91 at underground and 417 at surface work locations) among nonmetal operator employees occurring at an overall rate of 2.5 injuries per 100 FTE employees. A total of 26,954 days lost from work resulted from these injuries. 1. The underground nonfatal lost-time injury rate was greater than the surface injury rate (3.7 vs. 2.4 per 100 FTE workers). 2. In 2007, the most frequent classification of non-fatal lost-time injuries involved handling materials (n=182; 35.8%). 3.
