Ames Iowa Mine Earns Sentinels of Safety Award
Just a few months after being named Martin Marietta’s Diamond Elite award winner, the underground mine team at
Ames Mine won one of the oldest and most distinguished honors in the mining industry: the Sentinels of Safety Award.
“Winning both of these awards is like your birthday landing on Christmas,” said Plant Manager Doug Robey. “In all
honesty, it really shows the dedication and commitment this team has to safety and to each other.”
The National Mining Association (NMA) Sentinels of Safety Award represents the best-of-
the-best regarding safety excellence in the mining industry. Started over a century ago by
then-commerce secretary and would-be president, Herbert Hoover, the award is presented
annually by the NMA to the nation’s safest mine. The honor recognizes teams that record a
minimum of 4,000 injury-free hours in the year.
In 2024, only 20 mining operations – six coal mines and 14 mineral/metal mines – were honored for their extraordinary
safety performance. “No matter the size of the company or the material mined, these awards show that safety is of the
utmost importance across this diverse and vibrant industry,” said NMA President and CEO Rich Nolan in a statement. “As
the demand for mined materials continues to grow, so does our industry’s unshakable focus on safety and the innovative
ways that modern mining utilizes advanced technologies to reduce risks across the mine environment.”
