Mine Safety & Health (MSHA) Training
Training is an essential part of our mission to keep miners safe and healthy. Our goal is to help the mining industry through our high-quality safety training programs. Federal law requires that all miners receive 24hr New-Miner training and additional yearly 8hr Annual Refresher training. Our approved MSHA training programs provides materials, guidance, and hands-on assistance to help miners and operators meet their training obligations and more.
New/Inexperienced Miner Training
This course covers all aspects of the initial training requirements for owners and operators under 30 CFR Part 48 and satisfies the total MSHA requirement for new/inexperienced miner training. Participants will learn their rights and responsibilities, job related safety procedures, rescue and first aid techniques, as well as other safety and health hazards in the surface metal/non-metal industry. Students will receive a completed 5000-23 training certificate upon completion. This certificate will expire one year after completion (by the end of the training month).
