We believe doing the job safely is doing the job productively.

The Turner Mining guarantee is superior quality work with the highest degree of safety and professionalism, "If all companies followed TMG standards, my job would be a lot easier." -MSHA Inspector.

Safety is our state of mine

All production must be safe production. We go to extremes—big and small—to ensure we remain a trusted partner and employer. A great safety program isn’t created once and forgotten. We review and continuously evaluate our policies and practices to ensure a best-in-class safety management on each project.

Beyond our safety management system, we are committed to maintaining a strong safety culture for our employees, partners and communities every day of the week. If we take care of our people, equipment and environment, production will be the result.

Safety Approach

"I have heard Companies preach safety and say, “Safety First” but it isn’t backed up by their culture and their employees don’t buy into it. At Turner Mining Group, Safety is a part of our Culture, we are transparent about our safety record and our incident rate. The only way to learn from our mistakes is to talk about them, share them and then find ways to keep them from reoccurring."
- Craig Stephens, Safety Director

Safety Policies

Mining is governed by MSHA to help keep workers safe, and we think that’s a good thing, but not enough. The safety policies we practice are tougher than MSHA’s because safety to us is beyond compliance.

Safety Training

Mining is hazardous, and without the proper training it can be dangerous. We provide every miner with orientation training that exceeds MSHA requirements, but we don’t stop there. With a mix of on-site, classroom and online education, we find innovative ways to ensure our teams are equipped to recognize the most extreme hazards as well as common hazards that can go overlooked daily. We are building a safety program that encourages life-long learning, using real-time examples to iterate and improve our training.

Safety Audit

We conduct thorough safety audits every day. ALL employees know that it is their responsibility to create safe working conditions. We rally together to identify hazards and implement corrective actions. Not only do we expect this standard from our safety team and management teams, we expect it from every single employee, everyday.

Safety Citations

We believe in total transparency with our clients and employees regarding citations. Discussing why we fell short is the only way to prevent citations and incidents in the future. We see our geographical diversity as an advantage, allowing us to share learnings across sites to avoid repeating the same missteps and improve our practices.
