Governing Regulations
Underground mining regulations are found in CFR Part 48, and MSHA confined space regulations are detailed in 30 CFR Parts 56 and 57. OSHA confined space standards (29 CFR 1910) also inform training requirements and safe work habits.
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.
