The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration is making available $1 million in safety and health training grants to detect and prevent unsafe working conditions in and near mines.
Based a provision in Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, the Brookwood-Sago grants program was established, and funding in 2011 is focusing on training and training materials development and implementation for mine emergency preparedness and prevention in underground mines.
