The average mining operator now spends over $20,000 per year on citations and penalties. In this must-attend cost-savings workshop, held from September 15 to 17, 2026, you’ll learn how to reduce or eliminate fines—and improve safety conditions. In an era of increasing citations, this workshop will prepare you for Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) inspections so you can avoid penalties.
Join us each day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Husch Blackwell, 1801 Wewatta Street, Suite 1000, Denver, CO 80202.
