Mine Recruitment Script

Form Approved
OMB No. 0920-
Exp. Date xx/xx/20xx

I am a researcher for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and our mission is to eliminate mining fatalities, injuries, and illnesses through research and prevention. Recently, the use of a management systems approach for mining health and safety has become a priority topic of interest for mining companies and industry representatives like the National Mining Association. In support of industry interest, NIOSH is conducting a study to identify how mining companies manage their specific company’s health and safety practices. I am interested in talking to member of the [company] with knowledge or responsibility regarding the implementation and evaluation of your organizations’ HSMS. Sharing examples of how [the company] manages health and safety offers real world experience useful to industry representatives developing generalized guidelines for a management systems approach, but also to the industry at large.

 

If interested and willing to participate, individuals from the organization will be asked to participate in a 60 minute interview or focus group, depending on the number of interested individuals at your organization. The data collected will remain confidential and anonymous. There are no individual benefits to participation and participants will not receive compensation or reimbursement for their time. The organization representative will be assigned a participant number so that no identifiers are written or recorded on any of the information that participants provide. No information that you give us that can be linked to you or your organization will be published.

 

Thank you for your time, consideration and any assistance you can offer.

 

Please feel free to contact me at 412.386.4627 or ejhaas@cdc.gov.

 

Sincerely,

Emily Haas
