- Get Report
MSHA is making this publication (sometimes refered to as the "Yellow Jacket") available on-line for the convenience of the mining community. It is intended to assist our stakeholders when filing MSHA Forms 7000-1 Mine Accident, Injury and Illness Report and 7000-2 Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Report.
It is important that adequate information be supplied so that MSHA can properly analyze accident, injury and illness data. These reports are used by MSHA to evaluate and develop standards and programs that benefit the industry.
This circular is intended to be informational and provide support to our stakeholders. It is not intended to take the place of the requirements and policies of MSHA.

These files contain data collected by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under Part 50 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 30 Part 50). As a convenience, NIOSH has converted these files to two popular formats: dBase IV and SPSS (which includes labels and coding information). Although some computed convenience fields have been added, no new data has been added, and no corrections have been made to the information provided by MSHA. All files are .zip files.
We wish to thank NIOSH for their assistance in providing you this information in this format.
