The Mines Accident Prevention Association of Manitoba (MAPAM) was founded in 1962 to meet the rising need to provide safety and consulting services to a rapidly expanding mining industry. The association was incorporated as a not for profit organization with a mandate to promote and carry on the work of accident prevention and workers compensation management for its members.

MAPAM is wholly funded by its members who are assessed semi annually on the basis of the average number of workers for the six months immediately preceding the assessment period.

Over the forty-four years MAPAM has been serving the needs of the members of the mining industry, MAPAM's focus has not changed significantly from its original mandate.
