劳工部发放25万美元Brookwood-Sago拨款支持矿山安全培训：美属萨摩亚机构获17万、亚利桑那大学获8万
华盛顿——美国劳工部10月26日宣布，向两家机构发放总额25万美元的 Brookwood-Sago 拨款，支持开展教育与培训项目，帮助识别和预防全国矿山内外的不安全作业条件。
这批拨款由劳工部下属的矿山安全与健康管理局（MSHA）管理。Brookwood-Sago 矿山安全拨款计划资助受助机构编写培训材料、开展矿山安全培训和教育项目，以保护矿工的安全与健康。MSHA 表示，此次评审侧重创新性的矿山安全方案和可供不同岗位矿工借鉴的试点项目，并特别重视面向小型矿山工人的项目与材料，包括向矿山经营者和矿工培训 MSHA 标准，以及应急响应培训。
2026年受助机构为：位于美属萨摩亚 Pago Pago 的 Saelua Medical Corporation，获17万美元；位于亚利桑那州 Tucson 的 University of Arizona，获8万美元。
该计划依据2006年《矿山改进与新应急响应法》设立，以纪念2001年9月23日在阿拉巴马州 Brookwood 的 Jim Walter Resources 5号矿、以及2006年1月2日在西弗吉尼亚州 Buckhannon 的 Sago 矿遇难的矿工。
Department of Labor Awards $250,000 in Brookwood-Sago Grants for Mine Safety Training
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor on October 26 announced the award of $250,000 in Brookwood-Sago grant funding to two organizations to support education and training initiatives that help identify and prevent unsafe working conditions in and around the nation's mines.
The grants are administered by the department's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). The Brookwood-Sago Mine Safety grant program helps recipients create training materials, conduct mine safety training, and run educational programs designed to protect the safety and health of miners. In awarding the grants, MSHA focused on innovative plans for mine safety and pilot programs that may be useful for miners working in a broad range of positions, with an emphasis on programs and materials targeting workers in smaller mines, training mine operators and miners about MSHA standards, and emergency response training.
The 2026 recipients are Saelua Medical Corporation of Pago Pago, American Samoa, which receives $170,000, and the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, which receives $80,000.
The program was established under the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 and honors the miners lost at the Jim Walter Resources #5 mine in Brookwood, Alabama, on September 23, 2001, and at the Sago Mine in Buckhannon, West Virginia, on January 2, 2006.
