Kent (to the right) is receiving the award for his work in developing more efficient methods for rock excavation and reducing the risk of rock falls, thereby creating safer working areas. This work is fully in line with Boliden's zero tolerance approach as regards accidents.

Grounds for the award: "Through his strong commitment to drilling and blasting as well as to safety, this year's Rock Engineering Award recipient is helping to advance the development of rock engineering and to continue positioning Sweden's mines as the most modern in the world."
