To be MSHA compliant your company must have a training plan that is approved by MSHA and administered by a competent person. Our selection of online certification courses can be used as part of your company's MSHA-approved training plan, which is required for MSHA compliance. Our Part 46 and Part 48 training plan courses are designed to help you create, implement, and complete an approved MSHA training plan specific to your surface or underground mine site. Training can begin immediately anywhere there is an Internet connection.

MSHA training online helps miners and contractors identify and minimize exposure to hazards typically found at mines. Depending on the type of online training you require, course content may also include emergency procedures, first aid, miners' rights and responsibilities, hazard communication, electrical safety, confined spaces, and materials handling safety.

Mining safety training is divided into two parts: MSHA Part 46 Surface Miner training and MSHA Part 48 Underground Miner training. Working in mines poses numerous health hazards, such as cave-ins, explosions, landslides, and hazardous materials. Before you begin work at a mine site, it is important that you understand these hazards and your rights as a miner. Safety is the most important consideration in any mining endeavor.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulates and inspects mine sites to ensure that miners have received MSHA regulations training. MSHA training is required for all new mining employees, including contractors, and experienced miners must complete annual refresher training.
