Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association
The Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association (JAHSA) was founded in 1916. Twenty-four leading national organizations representing the mining, metallurgical and allied industries responded to the need to reduce accidents, fatalities and mining related illnesses in the mining and allied industries by creating a safety awards program. Various individual type awards such as hero award and merit award are issued by
the association. The JAHSA also issue awards for persons with 10, 20, 30, 40 years without
lost time accidents. Companies are issued awards for 50,000 hours without lost time,
100,000 hours without a fatality or permanent disability (both available for companies with
less than 25 employees). Other company awards include 250,000 hours without lost time accident (underground mines)(workgroups), 350,000 hours without lost time accident (surface mines) (workgroups), 600,000 hours without a lost time accident (more than 25 employees), and 4,000,000 hours without a fatality or permanent disability (more than 25 employees).
