Our vision is to deliver on the nation's promise - safety and health at work for all people through research and prevention.
Our mission is to eliminate occupational diseases, injuries, and fatalities from the mining workplace through a focused program of research and prevention.
We are committed to the innovative development of practical solutions to the complex problems that cause occupational diseases, injuries, and fatalities in mining. We recognize that collaborative efforts in partnership with labor, industry, government, and other stakeholders are usually the best means of achieving successful outcomes. We will continue to strive for high quality, and we recognize that our reputation as the "honest broker" of science is earned on a continuing basis. Finally, we believe that our research only realizes its true value when reduced to practice, and towards this end, we will incorporate "r2p" into every aspect of our research programs.
