MSHA Training Assistance for Mines

What is a Mine?

According to MSHA, mine development, rehabilitation activities, and exploration work at established mines fall in the scope of the ACT, as do milling activities. The types of mines under MSHA’s jurisdiction include placer, dredge, and hydraulic operations, as well as sand and gravel pits, and quarries.

Who Has to Take the Training?

Under MSHA regulations, those who enter the fence on a mine site must take MSHA safety training. This includes regular visitors such as maintenance and repair workers, equipment and food vendors, and custodial sanitization service providers. Additionally, anyone who visits the mine occasionally from customers to local road crews should take a new miner class before their first visit.
