Analyzing Trends in Mine Violations and Fatalities: Revised POV Program Outcomes

This report reviews the efficiency of the Revised Pattern of Violations (POV) program implemented in 2010, which screened over 14,000 mines each year. The findings highlight a significant reduction in the number of mines identified for POV violations, dropping from 53 in 2010 to just 9 by 2013, a decline of 83%. Despite these improvements, mining fatalities remain a concern, with 42 total deaths reported in 2013, including 20 in coal and 22 in metal/nonmetal sectors. The analysis underscores the critical need for ongoing safety measures in mining operations.
