AMA is proud to celebrate the 2026 Safety and Sustainability Award winners – members of our mining community who excel in ensuring the safety of their workers and communities, and in their commitment to conservation and sustainability.
Mining operations in Alabama require a workforce that includes miners, engineers, technicians, and support staff, as well as support jobs in manufacturing, transportation services, and port facilities.
The annual Safety and Sustainability Awards are given to companies and individuals in the industry that consistently operate safely, as good neighbors and stewards of their communities.
