The National Mining Association (NMA) recognized Coeur Mining, Inc. for receiving independent certification under its CORESafety® system.

“NMA congratulates Coeur Mining on this noteworthy achievement. Coeur has proven it is fully committed to continuous improvement in safety performance,” said Hal Quinn, president and CEO of NMA.

“We are committed to the well-being of everyone who sets foot on our mines or projects,” said Mitchell Krebs, Coeur’s president and chief executive officer.

“The CORESafety system has helped us reduce our injury rates by over 75 percent since 2012. We look forward to using it as the framework for even further health and safety improvement going forward as we continue to pursue a higher standard in all aspects of our business,” added Krebs.

CORESafety’s approach to safety and health emphasizes accident prevention using a risk-based management system anchored in leadership, management and assurance. The CORESafety framework is designed to go above and beyond what is required by regulations, instead focusing on a goal of continuous improvement. Its objective is zero fatalities and a 50 percent reduction in mining’s injury rate within five years of implementation. Since its inception in 2011, CORESafety participants have seen a 74 percent reduction in fatalities.

CORESafety is a voluntary mine safety and health initiative developed and facilitated by the NMA, the U.S. mining industry’s national trade association. CORESafety participants agree to: commit to the CORESafety system; implement a functionally-equivalent version of the CORESafety safety and health management system; submit to NMA annual self-assessments of progress toward implementation of the CORESafety safety and health management system; and, if the company elects to become or maintain CORESafety certification, complete a third-party assessment of its safety and health management system to verify that it is functionally equivalent to CORESafety and submit the assessment report to NMA. Coeur is the fifth NMA member company to complete each step of this process.

SGW Management Systems Specialists, Inc. conducted the independent audit for Coeur.
