Project Summary/Abstract The Colorado School of Mines (CSM) Energy, Mining and Construction Industry Safety Program (EMCIS) is a well-established training organization that was initially formed in 1999 as the CSM Mine Safety and Health Program. With mining still at its core, CSM operates its training center to enhance the quality and availability of health and safety training for Western mine workers. Goals include providing workers with relevant knowledge regarding hazards associated with working on mine sites and effective controls for reducing risk for injuries and illnesses. In addition, trainees will be continuously encouraged to be active participants in improving the health and safety conditions where they work. CSM proposes to offer a comprehensive approach to meet the safety and health training needs of the Western mining industry by providing a high quality, interactive training experience that targets several audiences: mine workers, trainers, safety and health professionals, mine management, and mining engineering and geology students. In addition, CSM’s training program will service underrepresented industry sectors such as contractors, consultants, suppliers and equipment manufacturers. Courses will be taught by highly qualified, professional instructors, who are technical experts as demonstrated by academic degrees, professional certifications and licenses, and experience. Depending on the training activity, CSM will utilize a combination of teaching pedagogies, including classroom discussion, hands-on exercises, games and group activities, and participation at the Edgar Underground Mine, as well as opportunities for online delivery, for these courses which will enhance student engagement, understanding, and knowledge retention. The NORA sector that will be addressed by CSM is the Mining Sector. Primary NORA cross-sectors of Hearing Loss Prevention, Respiratory Health, Traumatic Injury Prevention, and Healthy Work Design and Well-Being are addressed indirectly by being included as topics in various training courses offered to the mining industry.
