Work at any mine under MSHA jurisdiction in the United States

Training is an essential part of MSHA’s mission to keep miners safe and healthy. Our goal is to help the mining industry develop

high-quality training programs and to strengthen and modernize training through collaboration with industry stakeholders.

Federal law requires that all miners receive basic and annual refresher training and that all mine operators maintain an effective training plan.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Individuals willing to become miners and work at a mine site must undergo thorough training in an MSHA Safety Training Class to ensure they understand the various safety protocols and regulations that govern the industry.

This training is essential for those interested in pursuing a fulfilling career in the mining industry, as it equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the unique challenges associated with mining operations.

Moreover, all contractors planning to work at a US mine across the 50 states are required to complete this training as well, as it promotes a safer working environment for everyone involved.

Furthermore, miners with prior mining experience in other countries who wish to gain employment in the United States will need to obtain MSHA safety certification to comply with national regulations, thereby enhancing their qualifications and contributing to the overall safety of mining operations within the country.

This rigorous process not only fosters individual growth and accountability but also helps maintain a high standard of safety across the mining sector.
