The Nevada Mining Association (NVMA) proudly announces the recipients of the 2025 Individual Safety Awards, recognizing outstanding commitment to safety in the mining industry. This year’s honorees will be celebrated at a reception during the annual NVMA Convention on Sept. 5 in South Lake Tahoe.

This annual event not only celebrates the achievements of these individuals but also reinforces the importance of safety as a core value in the mining sector. Nevada is considered a world leader in mining regulatory oversight and safety statistics. 

The NVMA’s Individual Safety Awards acknowledge employees who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to maintaining and improving safety standards within their organization. The call for nominations invited NVMA member companies to spotlight exemplary personnel who uphold and advance workplace safety. A record total of 259 nominations were submitted and voted on by industry peers across twelve different categories. 

“Safety is ingrained into the culture of Nevada mining,” said NVMA President Amanda Hilton. “That commitment starts with the individuals who show up every day, prioritize safe practices, and lead by example. Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients.”

In July, the NVMA will announce the recipients of its Safety Awards for Mine Operators and Contractors. Based on data provided by the U.S. Mine Safety & Health Administration, these awards honor a strong, sustained commitment to workplace safety.
