BWS&A - Building Stones, Inc. training course, and the International Society of Mine Safety Professional’s CMSP examination is of the highest quality. Both apply the highest of standards in the industry today. I felt one of the most important elements they bring to the table is professionalism.

This class has been of benefit to me in many ways. I have learned a great deal about the mining industry outside of the coal industry. The difference in laws and such, but most of all I have learned about loss control. This can be of benefit to me and my company. I have learned a great deal about safety, something that we need to keep learning about from day to day. This was a great class. Jerry Howell, CMSP Chief Safety Engineer - Energy West Mining Company
