• Description:
  The experience of the mining industry has been that, for various reasons, safety experience and innovations of one company have not been shared with others in the industry. The James E. Rogers College of Law's Third Annual Mining Law Summit, entitled "Mine Safety; Sharing Solutions" addressed this issue by reviewing a recent example of sharing learnings from the Bingham Canyon landslide, looked at the authority of the Mine Health and Safety Administration and experiences with self-audits and information sharing as well as having a panel discussion to illustrate the implementation of collective expertise in addressing a hypothetic mine disaster. The Summit concluded with a review of methods to providing mine safety expertise and a proposal for providing future mine safety assistance. This presentation will provide valuable insights into sharing safety solution and considerations for future policy initiatives based on learnings from this summit. [Description provided by NIOSH]
