• Description:
  The Energy, Mining and Construction Industry Safety Program at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) is devoted to the development of effective training and education programs for workers engaged in mining operations throughout the Western United States. The cooperative agreement between CSM and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health began in September of 2010 and was renewed in 2014, 2017 and 2020. The overall objective of the cooperative agreement is to reduce the number of injuries and illnesses among workers in western mining operations. This is accomplished through a focused, relevant, and comprehensive training program that educates mine workers on how to identify and proactively protect themselves and others from risks and hazards in the mining environment. Over the course of the cooperative agreement, CSM has continued to improve and expand upon the initial training program by focusing extensively on Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) required training (Specific Aim 1); being responsive to industry needs for professional and specialized training (Specific Aim 2); and creating meaningful educational experiences for university students, faculty, and staff (Specific Aim 3).
