SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Purpose of the Handbook

The objective of this handbook is to provide a synopsis of the data available to the general public concerning mining Address/ Employment and Accident/Injury information collected under Title 30 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50 and to give the detailed specifications needed by the computer system analysts and programmers to utilize the file(s).

1.2 Use of the Handbook

This handbook is divided into the following sections:

a.	General Information - An overview of the data available and the procedures to acquire the diskette(s).

b.	Detail File Descriptions - Record layout for each file and a description of the data elements.

c.	Data Element Codes and Descriptions - A detail description of possible values for certain data elements.

Any figures pertaining to a section will be at the end of each section.  Some figures may therefore be duplicated from section to section.

1.3 Data Abstracts

The Directorate of Program Evaluation and Information Resources (PEIR), Injury and Employment Information Office (IEIO) located in Denver, Colorado is responsible for the Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) collection, utilization and dissemination of mining information relating to accident, injury, occupational illness, and employment.  As a part of this responsibility, these files are available from MSHA's Home Page on the Internet as well as on diskette upon request.

Except for the Master Index File (MIF), five calendar years of data are available.  For the current calendar year preliminary quarterly data files may be obtained.  For prior year information, the final closed-out data is the only available.

IEIO data files are separated by Coal and Metal/Nonmetal.  The Metal/Nonmetal file contains all non-coal commodities under MSHA jurisdiction i.e., most stone, sand and gravel, metal and nonmetal mines.  Information on the 1982 Metal/Nonmetal file is considered incomplete relative to other year's data for those operations exempted from MSHA jurisdiction under H.J. Resolution 370 consisting primarily of surface stone and sand and gravel.
The following sections contain summaries of each major type of data file.  See Figure 1.1 for a chart of the available files.

1.3.1 Address/Employment Files

These files contain the Part 50 mailing address of the mine operator, the quarterly employment and production (coal only) reported by operational subunits, and other information needed to identify the location, status and type of operation.

In 1983 contractors were permitted to report employment on a nation-wide basis within Coal or Metal/Nonmetal.  Two quarterly employment and production reports are required from a contractor working in both categories.  Beginning in 1983 contractor information is only available on a separate file.

1.3.2 Accident/Injury Files

These files contain coded information pertaining to each accident, illness, or injury reported to IEIO.   Contractor information was separated from mine information in 1983, because of employment reporting changes.

1.3.3 Narrative Files

These files contain only those narratives associated with specific accidents/injuries for a particular year.  Contractor information was separated from mine information in 1983, because of employment reporting changes.

1.3.4 Master Index File (MIF)

The Master Index File (MIF) contains all mine IDs issued by IEIO for mines active or opened since 1971.  This information is updated monthly.

1.4 Data File Procurement

These files are available either from the Internet or on 3.5 inch diskettes in a compressed format.  Section 1.4.3 gives a detail description.

1.4.1 Ordering Procedures

Data files may be ordered by telephone or letter.

To order by telephone:
Commercial or FTS:	(303) 231-5449

To order by mail, send a letter to:
Chief, Office of Injury and Employment Information
MSHA/IEIO
P.O. Box 25367
Denver, CO  80225 - 0367
Please include a telephone number where the requestor may be reached.

1.4.2 Cost and Billing

Figure 1.2 contains the charges for the diskette and documentation.

As in the past, some requestors may have the fee waived in the interest of the public as outlined in section 70.41 of 29CFR.

1.4.3 Diskette Information

Diskette files provided will have the following fixed characteristics:

3.5 inch IBM formatted diskette; some files will span multiple diskettes

Each diskette data file is in a compressed mode.  To expand all files that are contained on one diskette into a MS-DOS ASCII text file, use the following procedure:

a.	Insert the 3.5 inch diskette into the appropriate drive.

b.	Copy (either using MS-DOS COPY command or other utility that is available) the filename (XXXXXXXX.EXE where XXXXXXXX is the specific file name) specified on the diskette label to a drive that has the capacity to hold the expanded file plus the compressed file.  Listed below is an estimate of the amount of disk space needed for each type of file.

c.	The XXXXXXXX.EXE file is a self-extracting file.  To restore the original MS-DOS ASCII text file, enter the name of the .EXE file.  For example if the name on the diskette label is CAIM924.EXE, enter CAIM924 at the MS-DOS prompt.

d.	The documentation accompanying the diskette will contain information on the number of records that should be on the expanded file.

To expand any file that spans more than one diskette, use the following procedure:

a.	Insert the 3.5 inch diskette labeled YYYYYYYY.1 (for example MIF.1 or CADEM895.1) into the appropriate drive.
b.	Copy YYYYYYYY.1 (using MS-DOS COPY command or an available utility) to a drive that has the capacity to hold the expanded file plus YYYYYYYYY.1, YYYYYYYY.2, YYYYYYYY.3, etc and YYYYYYY.EXE.  Listed below is an estimate of the amount of disk space needed for each type of file.  Repeat steps a. and b. for YYYYYYYY.2, YYYYYYYY.3, etc.

c.	The following MS-DOS COPY command can be used to create a self extracting .EXE file:

COPY YYYYYYYY.1/B+YYYYYYYY.2+YYYYYYY.3 YYYYYYY.EXE

The above COPY command would combine three files into the .EXE file.  To combine two files into the .EXE files, the following COPY would be used:

COPY YYYYYYYY.1/B+YYYYYYYY.2 YYYYYYYY.EXE

d.	The YYYYYYYY.EXE file is a self-extracting file.  To restore the original MS-DOS ASCII text file, enter the name of the .EXE file.

e.	The documentation accompanying the diskette will contain information on the number of records that should be on the expanded file.


The following is an estimate of disk space needed for the expanded files using the maximum size from 1988 through 1991 4th quarter data:

SECTION 2. ADDRESS/EMPLOYMENT FILES

2.1 Mine Address/Employment

Files containing Mine Address/Employment information are a fixed length of 876 characters per record.  This data is written sequentially, in order by the first fourteen characters of each record (Mine ID and Contractor).

2.2 Mine ID Number

A mine identification number (ID) is a seven digit number assigned to a specific mine.  The first two digits identify the state in which a mine is located and the next five digits are sequentially ascending numbers within a state regardless of whether it is a coal or metal/nonmetal mine.  Once a mine is assigned an ID number, it carries that number from that time on whether active or abandoned and regardless of change in ownership.  That mine ID number is not given again to another mine. Mine ID numbers are assigned by IEIO upon request by MSHA district offices.  A mine information form is used in IEIO for recording these new ID numbers for coal and metal/nonmetal mines.  From this form, addresses are added to the Master Index File (MIF).

2.3 Contractor ID Numbers

A contractor is assigned one ID number that is used for identification when work is performed.  Contractor ID numbers are assigned by IEIO upon request by MSHA district offices.  A special log is kept for these new contractors.  A contractor ID can be up to seven characters.  Only three characters are used for reporting employment beginning in 1983.  Injuries must provide the seven-digit mine ID where the injury occurred along with the contractor ID number.  Beginning in 1983, contractor information is contained on separate files.  Prior to 1983, contractor employment was provided on a mine basis and therefore was included in the same file with mine information.

2.4 Mine Information Forms

A Mine Information Form is used by IEIO to obtain status, company name and other needed information regarding new mines.  This form is used to update the Master Index File (MIF).

2.5 Address Updates

The inspector has the responsibility for determining that a mine exists.  All additions and changes to both the coal and metal/ nonmetal address files are sent by the district offices to the Information Systems Center (ISC) Coal and Metal/Nonmetal Management Information Systems.   Through an internal process, the address files are updated to correspond with ISC databases.

2.6 Master Index File (MIF)

Address record additions or changes are used to update the MIF file monthly.  In addition, a special MIF update form is used to provide additional SIC codes and other information not carried on the address file.

2.7 Limitations on File Content

2.7.1 Congressional Removal

Information on the 1982 Metal/Nonmetal file is considered incomplete relative to other year's data for those operations exempted from MSHA jurisdiction under H.J. Resolution 370 consisting primarily of surface stone and sand and gravel operations.

2.7.2 Annual Removal

It is OIEI's policy to remove all mines and contractors from it's address files if the district responsible has placed either the mine or the contractor in a permanently abandoned status prior to initialization of the next year's files.

2.7.3 Contractors

Address records for contractors, because they contain all Coal or Metal employment nationwide, contain the following constant information:
Mine ID			0000000
Inspection Office	   9998
State Code				98
County Code		    998
SIC				  99998
Canvass or Class		 9
Mine Type				14
Work Group				00

2.8 FIPS State and County Codes

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) state codes (see Figure 2.1) are not the same numeric state codes assigned by IEIO as the first two digits of the mine ID number.  FIPS state codes have been assigned by alphabetical order by states.  The FIPS state code appears on the files but is computer generated.  All counties are assigned the FIPS code number and are not computer generated.  See FIPS PUB. 6-3 for the FIPS County Codes.

SECTION 3. ACCIDENT/INJURY FILES

3.1 Mine Accident/Injury Files

Accident/Injury files are a fixed length of 255 characters and the data is written sequentially in order by the first 28 characters in each record.   The first 28 characters generate a unique key within the files.  Diskette files may contain apparent duplicates due to the use of constant filler in character positions 25-28.

3.2 MSHA Form 7000-1

Accidents and injuries are reported on MSHA Form 7000-1 (Figure 3.1).  Information which is coded by IEIO is described in Attachment 1 (Section 8 of the Coding Manual).

3.3 Data Limitations

Section B of the 7000-1 (characters 158-159 MSHA Accident Code) is coded 13 by IEIO when not completed by the respondent.  This section should not be completed by the respondent unless it meets the requirements stated in 30 CFR Part 50.1.

Section C, item 5 determines the subunit.  When the subunit is 01 (underground), item 5b (characters 40-41) must be coded; if not completed, 07 is used.  Item 5c (characters 42-43) is 00 unless completed by the respondent.

3.4 Coding Manual - Handbook References

The following are the references in the coding manual (attachment 1) and the character positions of the accident/injury file to the item designation on the 7000-1 form.

3.5 Information Used From Address/Employment File

Characters 30-45 are obtained from the Address/Employment File for the mine reporting an injury; also the subunit in which the injury occurred must be present in the employment subunit area of the Address/Employment File.  This applies to both mine accident/ injury records and also contractor accident/injury records.  See figure 2.1, 2.3, 2.5-2.10.

3.6  Limitation on File Content

3.6.1  Congressional Removal

Information on the 1982 Metal/Nonmetal file is considered incomplete relative to other years data for those operations exempted from MSHA jurisdiction under H.J. Resolution 370 consisting primarily of surface stone and sand and gravel operations.

3.6.2  Return to Duty Information

Information from section D of the Form 7000-1 may be incomplete for files which are not "closed-out".  Injuries coded as 03 degree and zeros in characters 173-184 in a file means MSHA has not received return to duty information.  "Closed-out" files imply that all degree 01-05 injuries will contain non-zero information in at least one of the three data elements designated.
