VA Energy-VTCA Individual Safety Awards

Virginia Energy’s Mineral Mining Program and the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance (VTCA) are accepting applications for the annual Virginia Mineral Mine Safety Awards, a very successful program that, since its inception in 2007, has recognized 128 companies and 628 mineral miners for outstanding safety achievements in Virginia’s mineral mining industry.

The 628 mineral miners recognized represent an outstanding cumulative total of 15,139 years working without a lost time injury. In 2024, Virginia Energy and VTCA recognized 98 miners who have worked an amazing 2,899 years in the mineral mining industry without a lost time injury.

Individual employee safety awards will be considered for persons who reach fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five or more, forty or more, or forty-five or more consecutive years in the mining industry without a lost time injury during the calendar year. All individual award winners will receive a certificate acknowledging their achievement. Individual employee safety awards will be presented to the winners at their work location, either by Virginia Energy/VTCA or mine management personnel.

Virginia Energy and VTCA believe that the Virginia Mineral Mine Safety Award program provides an incentive to your employees to work with care and instills pride in those responsible for a winning effort. We hope that you will participate in this safety program. 

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact any Mineral Mining Program representative or call Jeff Stewart at (434) 996-5696. We look forward to receiving your response.
