US Department of Labor hosts annual conference for nation’s mine safety, health trainers at National Mine Health and Safety Academy, Nov. 12-15

"*Training Resources Applied to Mining conference will train the trainers*"

*WASHINGTON *– The U.S. Department of Labor announced today that its Mine Safety and Health Administration is holding its annual Training Resources Applied to Mining conference [ https://www.msha.gov/news-media/events/2024/11/12/2024-tram-conference ] in Beaver, West Virginia, from Nov. 12 to 15. 

The event will bring some of the industry’s leading mine safety and health trainers together to discuss best practices and new approaches for protecting miners at metal, nonmetal and coal mines across the nation.

“MSHA is proud to again host the Training Resources Applied to Mining Conference, a tuition-free conference featuring presentations from some of the industry’s most respected safety and health trainers. The conference helps health and safety trainers improve their training skills and infuse their training programs with new ideas and materials. This includes topics critical to miner health and safety, such as opioid use disorder and educating miners about their rights and responsibilities under the Mine Act. TRAM remains a valuable opportunity to work together to ensure that miners return home safe and healthy at the end of their shifts to their families and communities,” said Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health Chris Williamson. 

Held at the National Mine Health and Safety Academy [ https://www.msha.gov/training/training-programs-and-courses/academy-home-page ], the conference will include presentations by leading industry trainers and in-person and online workshops on topics ranging from how to better educate miners to designing new techniques in safety and health training. In addition, the conference will feature exhibits and demonstrations by MSHA, state grant recipients and other industry stakeholders.

The conference will also include the results of MSHA annual competition of mining-related training materials.

Conference attendance is free, but registration is required [ https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7832952/2024-TRAM-REGISTRATION ].
