US Department of Labor awards more than $10.5M in grants to support mine safety, health training across the nation [ http://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/msha/msha20241107 ] 11/07/2024 07:00 AM EST
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor announced today that its Mine Safety and Health Administration has awarded more than $10.5 million in grants to organizations in 45 states, the Navajo Nation and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to reduce mining accidents, injuries and illnesses by supporting programs such as safety and health courses.MSHA grants will support the delivery of federally mandated training and re-training for miners at surface, underground coal and metal and nonmetal mines, and miners employed in shell dredging or surface stone, sand and gravel-mining operations.“Training is crucial to ensuring the protection of miners’ safety and health and the grants awarded today will support these essential training programs,” said Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health Chris Williamson. “Every miner deserves to end their shift safe and healthy, and quality educational programs will go a long way toward reducing mining accidents, injuries and illnesses.”MSHA state grants are awarded in response to applications by states and territories. Funds are provided to state departments and agencies, and to state-supported universities and colleges. Programs are tailored locally to address conditions and hazards miners in various areas may encounter.Learn more about MSHA.MSHA State Grants have been awarded to the following organizations: RecipientCityState/TerritoryAwardBevill State Community College SumitonAL $248,182University of Alaska at FairbanksSoldotnaAK $155,796Arizona State Mine Inspector’s OfficePhoenixAZ $435,231Navajo Nation Minerals DepartmentWindow RockAZ $46,430Arkansas Department of Labor and LicensingLittle Rock AR $138,082Colorado Department of Natural ResourcesDenverCO $266,239Central Connecticut State UniversityNew BritainCT $99,523Tallahassee Community CollegeHavanaFL $203,956Technical College System of GeorgiaSandersvilleGA $224,367North Idaho CollegePost FallsID $171,417Illinois Department of Natural ResourcesSpringfieldIL $256,373Vincennes UniversityFt.
