Safety self-report (OSHA 300A)
Recordable injury rates the employer filed with OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application. DART covers cases with days away, restricted, or transferred; TRIR is the total recordable case rate.

Industry benchmark
BLS rates reflect industry-wide averages. Self-reported figures come from OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application; absence of self-reported data does not necessarily indicate non-compliance — many establishments fall below the ITA reporting threshold.

Mine safety (MSHA)
Company-level in OH — for K+S Group, 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 K+S Group 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. 100 citations · 75S&S · $296,192 proposed / $240,218 paid.

OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected.
