Governing regulations

The syllabus covered in this course are derived from Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations (30 CFR), Part 56, which prescribes a range of health and safety standards for workers associated with surface mines.

To remain safe in and around surface mines, every worker, notwithstanding the hierarchy, is expected to follow the health and safety standards. Employers are expected to provide instruction, information and supervision to all workers; whereas supervisors are supposed to ensure that all employees are adequately trained and strictly follow OSHA and MSHA regulations. About workers, they have to observe all MSHA and OSHA standards and safe work standards to remain safe and healthy.

To become MSHA compliant, every employer must have a concrete training program which should be approved by MSHA and conducted by a qualified and experienced person. Companies which want to draw safety strategy for workers can consider this course.

Managers and supervisors working in surface mines can approach us to write a comprehensive training plan through our Part 46 Surface Mining Training Plan course, which is the only such course available in the entire mining industry.
