The National Mining Association (“NMA”) announced the 2025 recipients of their Sentinels of Safety Awards for outstanding achievements in mine safety, technology, reclamation and stewardship.
NMA describes the Sentinels of Safety Awards as recognizing:
… coal and mineral mining operations in 10 categories for recording the most hours in a calendar year without a single lost-time injury.
A minimum of 4,000 hours is required for award consideration. The award categories reflect the safety accomplishments of both small and large mines.
Pine Bluff Sand and Gravel Company (“PBSGC”) was named a recipient in the “Large Group Category” for its Cumberland River Quarry.
PBSGC describes itself as a multi-generational family-lead company serving the mid-south and is headquartered in White Hall, Arkansas.
The Sentinels of Safety Award program was initiated in 1923 by then Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover. It is described as the nation’s most prestigious recognition of mine safety and has helped foster a strong safety commitment on the part of U.S. mines.
