Governing regulations

The syllabus covered is derived from Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 56, which deals with a range of health and safety standards for surface mines.

Every miner should ensure that all safety standards are strictly followed. Safety is the collective responsibility of everyone – from ordinary workers to employers – associated with mining operations. While employers should ensure that workers are well informed and supervised for compliance, supervisors should give proper training to workers to make them follow MSHA and OSHA regulations.

Every mining site should be MSHA compliant and employees should be trained as per the regulations by the accredited safety professionals. Mining operators can use this course or any of our courses to train your workers to make mines safe and accident-free.

Employers can approach us for making a comprehensive training plan with the help of our Part 46 Surface Mining Training Plan course, which is the only such course available in the mining industry.

Course Overview

MSHA ensures that mine sites adhere to the provisions as per Mine Act in letter and spirit so as to reduce accidents, losses and injuries.

The training module satisfies the procedures as mentioned in Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations (30 CFR), Part 56, which prescribes safety and health standards to be followed at surface mines.
