“The ABCs of Safety Culture” — Many companies are talking about safety culture these days which is good because we know much more today than we did just 10 years ago about what it is, how to measure it, how to improve it, and how it relates to organizational culture, safety leadership and systems. This presentation will summarize the current state of  knowledge and highlight practical steps to improve safety culture.

Bruce Watzman, National Mining Association

“NMA Safety Initiative” — In 2010 the National Mining Association established a task force to examine the challenges to achieve a goal of zero fatalities and a 50 percent reduction in the rate of injuries in U.S. mining within five years. The initiative involves development of a scalable, customizable, mining-specific safety and health management system to improve safety and health performance at mining operations.
