Sentinels of Safety Award
The National Mining Association (NMA) is pleased to sponsor the Sentinels of Safety Awards for U.S. mining operations.
Sentinels of Safety are awarded annually to the nation's safest mines with a minimum of 4,000 injury-free hours.
The awards were initiated in 1925 by then-Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover and remain the nation's most prestigious awards recognizing mining safety.
The awards for safety achievements in 2011 were made at a luncheon ceremony at MINExpo INTERNATIONAL® 2012 in Las Vegas on September 25, 2012.
The rules and categories for the awards can be found here.
