Committee Overview
The Safety Committee, formed through a partnership between the Colorado Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (CSSGA) and the Colorado Ready Mixed Concrete Association (CRMCA), leads efforts to achieve outstanding safety and health standards in Colorado’s aggregate and concrete sectors. We design innovative training programs, such as the acclaimed MSHA Part 46 New Miner Training DVDs, and collaborate with key agencies like the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to maintain regulatory compliance.
Through advocating best practices, celebrating safety achievements, and tackling potential workplace risks, the committee protects employees while building strong relationships with regulators and local communities.
Key Initiatives

- Safety Recognition: Oversee prestigious awards, including the Rodman C. Stewart Memorial Leadership Award and the Safety Innovation Award, to spotlight exceptional safety efforts and motivate broader industry improvements.
- Regulatory Partnerships: Facilitate discussions and roundtables with agencies such as MSHA, OSHA, and DOT to ensure industry alignment with the latest safety regulations, aiding Safety Officers and Legislative Advocates.
