Mine safety (MSHA)
Company-level in CO — for Layne Christensen, not this location alone
Mine Safety & Health Administration — citations issued at mining operations. MSHA records cases at the company/regional level (no worksite address), so these are matched by company name and state and may span other Layne Christensen operations in the same state.
MSHA citations
Mine Safety and Health Administration citations. S&S (significant and substantial) marks violations that could reasonably contribute to a serious injury. Negligence rating is MSHA’s operator-culpability assessment (none, low, moderate, high, or reckless disregard). Proposed = assessed at issuance; Paid = post-settlement / appeal. 3 citations · 3 contractor · $401 proposed / $401 paid.
| Citation | Mine | Date | Section | S&S | Negligence | Proposed | Paid |
