3. Safe Mining Operations Honored with
MSHA Sentinels of Safety Awards
The Sentinels of Safety Award program is a joint
initiative by the National Mining Association and
the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
of the U.S. Department of Labor. Established by
President Herbert Hoover in 1925, the award seeks
to recognize excellence in safety standards and
accident prevention measures among privately
operated metal, coal, stone, sand, and non-metal
mines in the United States. There are 10 mine
categories in which awards are distributed, further
divided into large and small categories.

4. Safe Mining Operations Honored with
MSHA Sentinels of Safety Awards
Mining operations submit employment and
injury data to the MSHA. This data is used to
assess eligibility and to determine the winners.
Along with determining the injury incidence rate
at each mining operation, the agency also
analyzes data regarding hours worked. The
winners in each category receive a bronze statue,
a certificate, and press announcements.
