Safety and Health Awards

  • Safety Excellence Award
      The Safety Excellence Awards, originated in 1987, are presented based on the ability of an individual mine site to maintain a safe workplace, evidenced by its safety performance over a consecutive period of time without an MSHA reportable injury.
  • Sterling Award
      The Sterling Safety Award, created in 1994, recognizes individual companies' safety performances. The individual producer company that achieves the lowest total incidence rate for the previous calendar year (in its respective category) will receive top honors. In the event of a tie, competitors' total incident rates in preceding, consecutive years are compared until the best incidence rate is identified.
  • James M. Christie Safety and Health Professional Award
      The James M. Christie Safety and Health Professional award, created in 1987, affords national recognition to one individual for superior and substantial contributions to his or her company's - and the industry's - effort toward proactive safe operating practices. This competition is open to any member safety and health professional with direct responsibility for the establishment, administration, implementation and/or enforcement of corporate safety and health policy, who:
      • has also made significant contributions to the industry's safety and health responsiveness,
      • is actively involved in either NSSGA's or a state safety and health program, and
      • has direct, day-to-day involvement in his or her own company's safety and health affairs.
