  1. Rogers Group, Inc

  2. Rogers Group History • Founded in 1908 by Ralph Rogers in Bloomington, Indiana • Grew with nation’s interstate system and infrastructure growth • Privately held by Ralph Rogers’ descendants

  3. Rogers Group, Inc • Ranks eighth out of 5400 aggregate producers in the US • Seventh largest crushed stone producer in the US • Operations in five states: IN, KY, TN, AL, AR • 1300 total employees – 600 in Aggregates • Core businesses - crushed stone, asphalt & asphalt construction • Other business – concrete block • 55 MSHA regulated operations

  4. Rogers Safety System We established our current system in 2001. We needed to find a way to reduce injuries beyond more rules. It was driven by our owners & CEO. 90% of injuries are a result of unsafe acts.

  5. SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT We are committed to achieving a zero injury safety culture by implementing all Rogers safety principles without compromise.

  6. Safety Principles • Management Commitment • Line Responsibility for Safety • Safety Training • Audit Process • Safety Committees • JSA Implementation • Incident Investigation • Employee Involvement

  7. Support Elements • Accountability • Substance Abuse Policy • Regulatory Compliance • Recognize Excellence • Clear Metrics

  8. Metrics • Leading Indicators measure implementation of the Safety Principles • Current Indicators measure the quality of performance to the Safety Principles • Trailing Indicators measure the results to the Safety Principles

  9. Trailing Indicators • Recordable/Reportable Injuries • Workers Comp Claims • Injury/Illness Rates

  10. Recordable/Reportable Injuries

  11. Workers Comp Claims *

  12. Reportable Injury Rate

  13. Rule Considerations • Recognize that this is a radical change in approach to oversight. • The size of the mine must be considered. • Time must be allowed to change the culture.

  14. Recommendations • Develop broad guidelines that provide flexibility to each operator. • It must be simple and measureable. • Give credit to operations that are implementing a safety management system such as reduced penalties for other violations. • Inspections proportionally should focus on implementation of a safety system.

  15. Recommendations • Don’t rush the rule. This is too important to not get consensus with all constituents. • More public meetings should be held on the District level to gain input from more stake holders.

  16. Closing Remarks • We all seek to develop a culture of safety within industry but MSHA must also develop a culture which diminishes the “enforcement first” approach to safety. • MSHA-NSSGA Alliance Core Principles of a Safety Program would be a good basis for rulemaking. • Thank you for taking the first step in moving mine safety into the 21st Century.
