1000 Days!

Healy, AK – Usibelli Coal Mine, the only operating coal mine in Alaska, is committed to excellence in safety

and sustainability. Yesterday, the mine proudly announced a significant achievement in workplace safety as its

dedicated employees have worked 1,000 consecutive days without a lost time accident. This remarkable

accomplishment underscores Usibelli's unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of its workforce.

"We are proud to celebrate 1,000 days without a lost time accident," said Joe Usibelli Jr., president of Usibelli

Coal Mine. "This achievement reflects our commitment to safety as a core value and the foundation of our

company culture. Every team member is accountable for their safety and the safety of their fellow coal miners."

The mining industry demands the highest safety standards, and Usibelli Coal Mine has consistently

demonstrated its dedication to ensuring a secure work environment for all employees. As a family-owned

business for over 80 years, its values prioritize safety, health, and prosperity for its employees and the

surrounding community.

The milestone comes from the mine's pursuit of safety excellence through training programs, safety protocols,

and regular safety assessments. The mine is one of eleven nationwide to have received CORESafety

certification from the National Mining Association in 2020. By implementing CORESafety and the mine's

internal "Everyday Safety – At Work. At Home. At Play." campaign, employees are empowered to be safety

leaders, fostering a collaborative approach to identifying and mitigating potential hazards.

"I also want to thank the families of our employees who support and encourage a commitment to Everyday

Safety and for supporting their loved ones to maintain a safety-first mindset," Joe stated.

In addition to achieving this safety milestone, Usibelli Coal Mine remains dedicated to being stewards of the

environment by using sustainable mining practices. The mine continues to invest in advanced technologies

and best practices to ensure its operations align with the highest environmental standards.

"Beyond our commitment to safety, we also recognize our responsibility to the environment and the

communities we serve," added Joe Usibelli Jr. "We strive to leave a positive legacy for future generations."
