Mine safety education,

training grants available

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently

announced the availability of up to $400,000 in

grant funding through the Brookwood-Sago grant

program to support education and training to help

identify, avoid and prevent unsafe working condi-

tions in and around the nation’s mines.

The Brookwood-Sago grants are administered

by DOL’s Mine Safety and Health Administration

(MSHA), focusing on training and training mate-

rials on powered haulage (in particular, reducing

vehicle-on-vehicle collisions, increasing seat belt

use and improving belt conveyor safety), improving

safety among contractors and reducing electrocu-

tions. DOL said the grants will also focus on im-

proving training for new and inexperienced miners,

mine emergency prevention and preparedness, and

other programs to prevent unsafe conditions in

mines.

DOL said the program, which was established

by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency

Response Act of 2006, promotes mine safety and

honors 25 miners who died in two disasters at the

Jim Walter Resources No. 5 Mine in Brookwood,

Alabama, in 2001, and at the Sago Mine in Buck-

hannon, West Virginia, in 2006.

The grants will enable recipients to develop

training materials, provide mine safety training or

educational programs, recruit mine operators and

miners for the training, and conduct and evaluate

the training.

The department said MSHA will give special

emphasis to programs and materials that target

miners at smaller mines, including training miners

and employers about new agency standards, high-

risk activities or hazards identied by MSHA.

The deadline for applications is Sept. 9, 2020, and

grants will be awarded on or before Sept. 30, 2020.
