| Resumen |
In the United States in 2004, 14,478 mining operations reported employment, occupational accident and occupational disease data to statistics to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Almost half (48.9%) were sand and gravel mines, followed by stone mines (30.4%), coal mines (13.9%), nonmetal mines (5.1%), and metal mines (1.7%). The sector employed 223,078 workers, corresponding to 230,860 full-time equivalent employees. Employee hours for mine operators working at underground and surface locations accounted for 19.5%, and 80.5% respectively of total employee hours worked in the mining sector. This information sheet summarizes the key statistics for the mining sector in 2004, including fatalities, non-fatal injuries (mainly due to materials handling, slips and falls, with the back being the most frequently-injured part of the body) and occupational diseases (joint, tendon or muscle inflammation or irritation, hearing loss, coal workers' pneumoconiosis, silicosis). |
