37 recipients showcase an industry-wide commitment to safe mining operations

RENO, Nev. (June 22, 2022) – The Nevada Mining Association (NVMA) announced the recipients of its 2022 Individual Safety Awards, which celebrate the industry professionals whose extraordinary efforts ensure mine workers return home safely after every shift.

“Safety will always be the number one priority across Nevada’s mining industry – it’s woven into every aspect of our culture and operations for that very reason,” said NVMA President Tyre Gray. “Congratulations to the 37 award recipients for their outstanding commitment to keeping their co-workers and teams safe and healthy.”

The NVMA Individual Safety Awards are based on performance during the previous calendar year. A total of 105 nominations were submitted, with recipients voted on by industry peers. The 37 individual miners will be recognized during an awards luncheon on Sept. 10, 2022, at the NVMA Convention in Lake Tahoe.

In July, the NVMA will also announce recipients of the Mine Operator Safety Awards, highlighting the mining companies that have demonstrated unparalleled dedication to providing safe workplaces for their employees. Those recipients are based on data provided by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
