Early in 1997, the Colorado School of Mines responded to the concerns of the mining industry and considered the need for a centrally located safety and health training center to service the Western mining community. Surveys of existing training opportunities and discussions with Western mining operators, labor organizations, and mining associations strongly supported the establishment of a safety and health training entity on the CSM campus. As a result, and through the auspices of the CSM Office of Special Programs and Continuing Education, an initial series of courses were taught at CSM during 1998.

The Western Mining Training and Translation Center, administered by the Office of Special Programs and Continuing Education, conducts training activities, creates new training materials, and cooperates with other universities, state agencies, mining organizations, and the mining industry to enhance the safety and health of American workers.
