Description:
The purpose of this program is to support education and training projects that help identify, avoid, and prevent unsafe working conditions in and around mines. The funding agency expects award recipients to develop training materials or develop and provide mine safety training or educational projects, recruit mine operators and miners for the training, and conduct and evaluate the training. The funding agency will give priority to mine safety demonstrations and pilot projects with broad applicability. The program will also give priority to projects that target smaller mines, including projects that train mine operators and miners on new funding agency standards, high-risk activities, and other identified safety priorities.
