one for employees and the other for local residents.
Employees:

We regret to inform you that a mining accident occurred at our facility yesterday afternoon, resulting in the death of two workers. We take every measure possible to ensure safety onsite, but this incident highlights how dangerous our work can be and is a reminder of how important it is to remain vigilant at all times. Our thoughts are with the families of those affected by this tragedy.

We have launched an internal investigation into the cause of the accident and will provide updates when more information becomes available. In the meantime, we urge all personnel to observe heightened safety protocols while working in order to protect themselves and others from harm. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.

Local Residents:

We regret to inform you that a mining accident occurred at our facility yesterday afternoon, resulting in the death of two workers. We understand that many members of our community live near or work with us onsite, so we wanted to make sure everyone was aware as soon as possible after this unfortunate event.

At present there is no evidence indicating any danger posed by this incident beyond what has already taken place onsite – however out of an abundance of caution we are advising residents living near our facility not to consume produce grown within a 30 mile radius in case there were any potential hazards related to airborne particles released during the incident. Additionally we would like reassure everyone that we are doing everything within reason to prevent similar incidents from occurring again in future.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this difficult time as we mourn those who lost their lives yesterday afternoon
