Miner Mike Saves the Day! or Ground Support... It's Important! exudes both humor and wisdom. Filmed in six different underground locations, the video teaches the necessity and use of ground supports. The video uses actual hard rock miners to teach the videos' protagonists (Jeff and Jason) about this important feature. This video was the winner of the NIOSH 2001 Alice Hamilton Award for Excellence in Educational Materials.
