Safety is a Value 2
Agency/Industry Partnership to Reduce Accidents,
Injuries, and Illnesses.
Safety is a Value 3
Goal• To eliminate accidents, injuries
and illnesses to miners by sharing accident prevention information within the mining industry.
Safety is a Value 4
Success is based on all of us working together.
• MSHA has resources to dedicate to assist our stakeholders in reducing safety and health hazards.
Safety is a Value 5
Agency Strengths
• Inspectorate - Coal and Metal/Nonmetal– daily interface with miners and mine
management,– exposed to unique ideas for reducing
safety and health risks to miners.
Safety is a Value 6
Agency Strengths• Technical Support -
– engineering and scientific talent to address safety & health hazards,
– provide assistance to the mining industry by analyzing alternatives to current practices
– increase awareness of hazards through training,
– interface with manufacturers to reduce hazards created by equipment.
Safety is a Value 7
Agency Strengths
• Training (EPD) -– provide training to the mining industry, – evaluate training plans for effectiveness,– publish training material,– coordinate the state grants program.
Safety is a Value 8
Agency Strengths
• Information Resources -– provide accident and injury data to the
mining industry, – publish an analysis of this data,– Maintain MSHA’s internet site as a method
of sharing agency information with the mining industry.
Using the Agency’s Resources to Reduce Accidents, Injuries and
Illnesses.
How can MSHA communicate with the industry to reduce
accidents?All program areas would be
responsible for specific functions. These would be coordinated by
representatives from each program area working together.

MSHA Accident Prevention Steering Committee
• An ad hoc committee to evaluate the root cause of fatal accidents for solutions, identify synergies between all accidents, and recommend solutions to prevent future accidents, injuries, and illnesses.

Industry Committee
• MSHA establishes a partnership with industry and jointly endorse solutions. Some of these may be:– International Society of Mine Safety
Professionals (ISMSP)– International Society of Explosives
Engineers (ISEE)
– Equipment Manufacturers Institute (EMI)
Safety is a Value 19
Industry Committee
– National Mining Association (NMA)– United Mine Workers of America (UMWA)– Bituminous Coal Operators Association
(BCOA)– National Stone, Sand, and Gravel
Association (NSSGA)
– American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE)

The Example of the Process
• An idea to prevent an accident is received by a ______(mine inspector, EFS, Tech Support, state grant trainer, etc.) from a miner,
• it is passed up to through the program area committee member,
• the idea is sent to all committee members for review,
Safety is a Value 23
Example• Members critique the idea.
• Once approved -- sent to Industry Organizations, PEIR for Internet posting and EPD for publication,
• EPD notifies all agency field personnel and state grant recipients via mailings or email.
Safety is a Value 24
Example• All inspectors, EFS, and state grantees
should distribute this information when interfacing with miners during the normal course of their business.
• If a better or alternate idea on how to prevent accidents is discussed in training, this again should be passed to the steering committee for sharing.
Safety is a Value 25
Example
• Credit will be given on the document to those who submit the idea.
Safety is a Value 26
Summary--Utilize the strengths of the agency to communicate more effectively
with the industry.
• Inspectorate (Coal & M/NM) - – identify root causes, – solicit new ideas, – share solutions with the industry,
• Technical Support - – resolve technical based root causes,– develop solutions to reduce hazards,
Safety is a Value 27
Summary
• Training (EPD) - – develop focused training programs,– new training products,– publication and distribution of information.
• Information Resources - – provide safety & health trend analysis,– internet information.
Safety is a Value 28
Agency Goals
• A lower number of fatalities
• A lower non-fatal injury incidence rate,
• MSHA directing it strengths to eliminate hazards and communicate these findings,
• Creating a partnership with mining industry.
