14 Metal and Nonmetal Initiatives Beginning in 2014 Increased Enforcement Education and Outreach Accident and Fatal Information Root Causes Best Practices Quarterly, National Conference Calls with Mine Safety Trainers MSHA issued guidance to clarify fall protection standard, and our new policy recognizes OSHA fall protection standard as generally satisfying MSHA s standard Ladder Safety Alert February

17 Metal and Nonmetal Initiatives since August 3, 2015 Stakeholders Involvement - Examples Maine Aggregates Association in Partnership with Maine AGC did a webinar broadcast to highlight near miss accidents and fatality trends. Hanson Aggregates conducted an offsite safety conference at four of their plants. The information was presented by MSHA, members of Hanson Aggregates management then shared the information throughout their NE region within their mine operations. Lehigh Cement, Union Bridge distributed the information within their Union Bridge MD, Plant The Nyrstar underground has revised their confined space procedures and will reviewed them with their contractors and miner personnel and a JSA will be conducted before entering any confined spaced. Vulcan is starting mock workplace examination inspections by planting dummy hazards for miners to observe upon entering their workplace. By doing this, miners have found even more hazards Lexington Quarry has started posting all fatalgrams on the break room after discussing them during safety meetings. Miners are now discussing these amongst themselves. Kentucky Solite started compiling a notebook of the 52 fatalgrams and distributed it to all miners after our on-site discussions. Riverside Underground installed a new bulletin board after our safety talk that is used for the sole purpose of reminding miners to do thorough workplace examinations before starting their shift. Hilltop Mining started sending miners from one quarry to another to conduct audits after hearing our safety initiative message. Pine Bluff Materials has the following initiative: Serious Injury and Fatality Prevention 13
