We are also now a proud member of the association! With over 500 company members and counting, the NVMA is the premier association to network and have a direct contact with Mine Operators across the state and beyond. Thank you, NVMA, for welcoming us with open arms and for giving us the opportunities to learn, have a seat at the table, engage with operators and other members, attend mine tours, meet elected officials, pitch our product and services, and participate in your members-only exclusive events. We hope to be a beacon of change by raising awareness about the dangers and risks of dropped objects within the mining industry.

As of today, the 27th of June, the US DoL's daily fatality report for the Mining Industry shows 15 fatalities. Two of the fatalities have been classified under the slip/fall of a person, and another two are related to powered haulage (conveyor belts & haul trucks). There were also two fatalities related to machinery. These fatalities are not a far cry from last year's total deaths and tell us that we have a lot of work to continue raising awareness about fall prevention, safety when operating machinery, and additional safety measures related to conveyor belts.

If you are in the mining industry, what proactive safety measures do you implement to ensure your workers and contractors are safe? One of the most common 'excuses' we hear from some companies ranges from 'we do not have a budget for a safety solution' to 'safety is not really our priority right now.'

At 5th Element, our priority remains the same: help companies keep their employees and workplace safer through education, training, awareness, and practical product solutions to mitigate hazards. https://buff.ly/3ohPiGj
