Challenges in Mining

From surface quarries to mining pits, every site comes with unique hazards, rising costs and strict compliance requirements. With production pressures increasing, keeping your workforce safe and fully compliant with MSHA regulations is more important than ever.

Rising Costs

  • Expensive equipment downtime from safety shutdowns
  • High turnover and expensive onboarding of new miners

Complex Operations

  • Managing documentation for annual refreshers, task training and site-specific hazards

High Regulatory Burdens

  • Completing extensive annual refresher training mandated by MSHA Part 46
  • Unannounced MSHA inspections with immediate penalties for lapses

Persistent Safety Risks

  • Miners face some of the highest fatality and injury rates
  • Even “routine” surface mining tasks can expose workers to life-threatening hazards
