Our Families and Guests are the reason all worked so hard to master the compliance-based $afe Production principles; to provide a good standard of living for them each day!

The Institute Interns worked long days to master the information

They understood that in a slow market period, needless expenditure had to be avoided.  High MSHA fines and the cost of unnecessary abatements can be avoided by having safe workplaces and knowing their rights. 

These Industry Professionals swiftly saw that the money went into net profit and could be used for "tuning up" profitability in a sluggish business period.

After class, Leaders like John Hansen and Eric Schubert of Cemex Florida relaxed and discussed their plans for implementation of the LAW into their areas of responsibility. Ms. Blue's Hospitality Room was a great place to network with other experts.

Adele Abrams and Nichelle Young are from the Law Office of Adele L. Abrams. They were two of the three attorneys at the Institute. Adele did her usual great job of teaching the class the legal side of dealing with MSHA. Nichelle attended the Institute to broaden her knowledge of the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. She was a definite asset to the class.

Kyle Jackson (Left) was our other attorney in the Institute. Kyle has had a quick introduction to the questionable citations issued by MSHA inspectors. Kyle is General Counsel for Oldcastle Materials, Mid-west. His dinner companion was Tom Baily a Manager with the benchmark-setting National Lime and Stone in the North-east.

Ernesto Alvarez, Safety Associate, and Marc Ingvoldsen, Production Manager for Baldwin Contractors Knife River Corp., have their plan set to strengthen their workplaces and avoid the costs of citations and abatement. They even talked business during the Paddle-wheeler Riverboat Dinner Cruise on the Savannah River Queen!
