Carmeuse Mining, a global manufacturer of lime and limestone products, is no stranger to the workforce shortage. The company has locations around the world, including Maysville, KY, and employs about 4500 people. Despite its international reach, local workforce challenges have impacted Carmeuse in the same way that it has impacted hundreds of construction companies across the state. Finding and training more workers became a top priority, and Sean Campbell was the man for the job.

Through his previous work experience with the state of Kentucky, Campbell had become familiar with the state’s TRACK program, Tech-Ready Apprentices for Careers in Kentucky. TRACK is a partnership between the Kentucky Department of Education’s Office of Career and Technical Education and the Kentucky Office of Apprenticeship to provide secondary students with career pathway opportunities into Registered Apprenticeship programs.

Educational Field and Small Mine Services (EFSMS) has developed a series of weekly ToolBox talks that can be used by small mine operators and others to hold safety and health discussions for their employees at their mining operations. We have developed these in consultation with members of the mining community, and appreciate their input. We hope these ToolBox talks will help small mine operators and their miners to keep safety and health at the forefront of their daily and weekly activities.
