A mine must have at least 4,000 injury-free hours to receive this award. For 2024, Antelope Mine had 766,248 injury-free hours, a streak which dates to May 1, 2023, for a total of 1,533,802 injury-free hours. Given an annual production of up to 25 million tons of coal annually, this is no small feat. NTEC’s commitment to safety is evidenced through several Sentinels of Safety awards over the years, as well as awards from the State of Wyoming, Montana, and the Rocky Mountain Mining Institute.
