Recorded fatalities relative to other controllers with a fatal MSHA history. Percentile is computed across the 590 controllers with at least one recorded fatality.
More recorded fatalities than 86% of controllers on file.
Position when controllers are sorted by recorded fatalities.
Industry mean: 2.0 fatalities per fatal-history controller.
Methodology: percentile and rank computed across MSHA controllers with at least one recorded fatality. Industry mean is the average across that same population. Peers are sampled by closest total-incident count, regardless of fatality outcome.
A crew of 5 workers were installing an 8'x10' process door when the lifting lug on the door became detached. This resulted in the door free falling approximately 22"" to the ground and ultimately falling over onto one of the crew members.
