• Description:
  The Western Mining Safety and Health Training & Translational Center (WMSHTT or Center) was funded by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Health and Human Services. When it was established in 2004, it was a four-member consortium consisting of University of Missouri-Rolla (or UMR until January 1, 2008; now Missouri University of Science and Technology, or it will be MS&T from here on), Colorado School of Mines (CSM), Montana Tech of the University of Montana (Montana Tech) and the University of Utah. In 2005, Montana Tech withdrew from the consortium. The Center is located in the Department of Mining and Nuclear Engineering, MS&T and all educational and translational projects were coordinated and managed through the Center by Dr. Larry R. Grayson, the original project Director, until September 2007. This was later transferred to Dr. Jerry C. Tien after that date. This project has multiple subprojects and the primary aim of this project is to reduce the number of injuries to miners through an integrated program of training intervention and translational research. This project specifically develops and implements a broadly collaborative western U.S. program that accomplishes the following: 1. Identifies the training needs of mining personnel, today and in the near future. 2. Develops and conducts a coordinated, systematic, targeted, and multi-faceted Western training program, which addressing prioritized mine safety and health issues. 3. Provides qualified instructors and faculty across the West to train mining personnel in thrust areas. 4. Evaluates the effectiveness and impact of the training program in reducing injuries to mining personnel. 5. Conducts limited translational projects that convert essential mining occupational health and safety research results with limited dissemination into information, resources, and tools to achieve wider dissemination.
