The Department of Mines and Petroleum, later renamed the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety, the governing authority for the industry in the state, has published statistics for fatalities in mining dating back to 1943 and intends to publish statistics dating back to 1886, though early records are not expected to be exhaustive.

Dust degrades air quality in the immediate area, has an adverse impact on vegetative life, and constitutes health and safety hazards for mine workers and nearby residents.

The accident happened on March 20 at the D-29 Darby Fork underground mine near Holmes Mill, in Harlan County. The mine is operated by INMET Mining, LLC, a subsidiary of Industrial Minerals Group, LLC.
