The Safety Committee works to build relationships with the regulatory agencies responsible for worker and plant site safety. Both the Mine Inspector’s Office and representatives from the Mine Safety and Health Administration and Occupational Safety and Health Administration attend important monthly meetings. The committee works with these agencies to educate members and non-members alike in establishing comprehensive safety programs, address current issues, and share vital information. The ARPA Safety Committee has held joint safety conferences, provided training, participated in occupational safety events, and have provided and received presenters to convey vital information. The committee has also instituted an annual safety awards program given to those organizations with the best safety records. The ultimate goal of the Committee is to increase awareness and compliance.
