Governing Regulations
This underground new miner training course presents an overview of MSHA Part 48 training requirements. Specific requirements for MSHA new miner certification are found within 30 CFR 48, including the training requirements for miners who work at coal mines, underground metal and non-metal mines, and surface areas of metal and non-metal mines. The mine operator must provide task and site-specific training in addition to the topics covered in this Part 48 new miner training.
On-site surface mine employees must receive this training. Training must also be available to office staff, delivery workers, customers, independent contractors, maintenance personnel and visitors of the mine site.
TO BE MSHA COMPLIANT YOUR COMPANY MUST HAVE A MSHA APPROVED TRAINING PLAN AS OUTLINED BY 30 CFR §48.23. YOUR COMPANY CAN USE THIS OR ANY OF OUR COURSES AS PART OF THAT PLAN. YOUR MINE SITE OPERATOR MUST PROVIDE YOU WITH A COMPLETED 5000-23 FORM UPON COMPLETION OF ALL REQUIRED ASPECTS OF TRAINING AS OUTLINED BY 30 CFR §48.28 WHICH MAY INCLUDE THIS SAFETY TRAINING AS WELL AS SITE SPECIFIC HAZARD TRAINING.
IT IS YOUR MINE SITES RESPONSIBILITY to Record and certify that each miner has received training required under this part on 5000-23 FORM, or on a form that contains the information listed in paragraph (b) of 30 CFR §48.23. Read more about how to fill out the MSHA Form 5000-23 here.
