In this episode, Arthur and Chris welcome a special guest, Joseph Riney, Vice President of Operations at the Nevada Mining Association to discuss how the association works to represent its members' interests in public policy and mine safety. The group discusses a wide range of issues, including educating Nevadans about the mining industry, the current state of mine safety policy, and developments that may be on the horizon. The group also considers how mine operators can take part in their own state associations, participate in the rulemaking process, and monitor new policy initiatives as they unfold. This lively discussion emphasizes the impact that these developments have on the day-to-day work toward mine safety throughout the state of Nevada and the country.
