Stay Away, Stay Alive
As part of the mining community's on-going effort to further improve health and safety at the nation's underground coal mines through greater safety awareness, improved training and advanced technology, NMA is launching a new "Stay Away, Stay Alive" safety initiative aimed at reducing accidents and fatalities associated with unsafe activity in proximity to continuous miner machinery.
NMA and its member company safety professionals developed these safety training and awareness materials based on analyses of actual accident reports. The materials highlight specific actions that should be avoided. This innovative program is a first step and lays the groundwork for the next generation of underground mining technology that will be used to detect unsafe proximity to mining equipment.
NMA is providing these materials to the safety directors at NMA member companies and making them available to all U.S. underground coal mining companies as part of our commitment to bring every miner home safely at the end of every shift; this initiative is part of our industry's larger efforts that have helped to make 2008 a record-breaking year for safety in U.S. coal and minerals mines.
If you would like a copy of these materials, please fill out the form below. You will receive a confirmation email once your order has been received.
