MEMSA was first founded as the organization known for fifty four years as OPMA. The Open Pit Mining Organization was founded in 1945 by a group of electrical mining employees in a small area know for it’s surface coal. Joining together to trade knowledge and ideas relative to the mining industry, this group of men and women miners with an electrical interest has grown through the years to include mine electricians, electrical supervisors, and electrical engineers from a diverse spectrum of mining interests including coal, phosphate, aggregates, and potash to name a few.

Electrical suppliers, utilities, service and repair shops, machine and power cable manufacturers, universities and other support groups of the mining industry have joined with this organization to provide a leading forum for electrical leaders of the mining industry .

Mining Electrical Maintenance & Safety Association was formed in 1999 when the Open Pit Mining Association was renamed to better meet the needs of it’s members in an often rapidly changing industry.

 

MEMSA Mission and focus is to advance practical standards of applied electricity and maintenance within the mining industry, and to promote safe practices for protection of operating personnel and equipment by providing a forum for miners with an electrical interest.

Membership extends to everyone involved in mining in North America and throughout the world.

Technical and safety symposium each year and annual meeting

 

Electrical Safety is a high priority mining issue as mining moves forward with new and more complex issues to face. MEMSA has adopted electrical safety as a one of the key focuses in the organization. Every MEMSA function and meeting will involve electrical safety as a part of the agenda.

 

People Networking is very important in a changing environment, and MEMSA allows miners of electrical interest to meet and exchange ideas for their common good through with an annual meeting and technical symposium and other communication.

 

Sharing Knowledge about mining always will help improve ones professional career as well as improve their company’s bottom line. MEMSA will provide a forum for this exchange.

 

New Electrical Technology in Mining is advancing rapidly and MEMSA will aide miners in keeping abreast of new developments on a practical level through its networking and annual technical symposium.

 

Electrical Maintenance in the mine environment is difficult in the best of times. Often knowing who to ask and where to get the right information is vital to a person with maintenance responsibility and MEMSA will provide the venue through it’s technical symposium and people networking.
