The National Mine Health and Safety Academy will host the 2025 Training Resources Applied to Mining (TRAM) Conference from Nov. 4 to 6, bringing together hundreds of mine safety trainers and professionals to share the latest tools, techniques, and best practices in safety education.
The event, organized by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), will be held in person at the academy in Beaver, West Virginia. It marks a continuation of MSHA’s efforts to improve training resources for the mining industry and to recognize excellence in safety instruction.
In addition to technical workshops and hands-on demonstrations, the TRAM Conference features keynote addresses by industry leaders and safety advocates, as well as opportunities to network and collaborate on innovative training methods. MSHA officials say the event supports the agency’s goal to reduce mining accidents and improve miner health through education and outreach.
Participation is free, but registration is required and expected to open in the summer. Presenters from academia, industry, and government are encouraged to submit proposals for workshops and training sessions.
