Vellum – MSHA Trained and Certified
Posted by admin | Filed under Mining, New Work
Vellum’s team recently spent a week in Hazard, Ky with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), receiving surface mine training and certification. Now that the team is carrying surface mine cards we could, technically, go to work as coal miners in the surface mines of Appalachia or Wyoming. While we won’t be taking coal out of the ground with our new certifications, this does allow Vellum to legally and safely work on site in surface mine and active quarry environments.
Vellum has years of experience in active industrial environments, and retains a devoted commitment to safety and quality. Our team receives annual first aid and safety training, and we are always adding to our list of industrial certifications. For our industrial clients this means they can count on Vellum to safely and professionally work in any of their locations.
Would you let just any person off the street into your manufacturing facility, warehouse or active job site? For the majority of our clients the definite answer is no, because they place a premium on safety in the workplace. Vellum’s actively matches that commitment, so that our clients can rest assured that they are hiring a team that knows how to work safe, and get the job done right.
Coal Tipple

This video, a quick look at a coal tipple operation in Eastern Kentucky, is a quick piece we threw together several months ago with some extra footage and some still images we had left over following a shoot this past fall. We pieced the video together during a brainstorming session with the Vellum Industrial team during the planning stages of an upcoming video shoot scheduled for late March.
Eastern Kentucky – Behind the scenes

The Vellum team had a great time in January producing a portrait series of the hard working men at Frasure Creek in Eastern Kentucky, and we put together this quick and dirty clip to give everyone a sneak peak at the kind of work required on a day- to-day basis at an active mine site. Vellum will be back to produce a series of all video pieces with the new Canon 5D Mark ll in a couple of months.
