MSHA Part 46 - Annual Refresher Training

Service Description

This Annual Refresher course is designed to assist you in meeting Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Part 46 requirements. MSHA Part 46 applies to shell dredging, sand, gravel, surface stone, surface clay, colloidal phosphate, and surface limestone mines. Applicable Regulations: [Section 46.8(a)]: Each miner will receive a minimum of 8 hours annual refresher training at least once every 12 months. The training will include instruction on changes at the mine that could adversely affect the miner’s health or safety [Section 46.8(b)]. The refresher training will also address other health and safety subjects relevant to the mine. If your work is in other MSHA regulated operations or you are an independent contractor that operates in other types of mining operations, you may be required to complete Part 48 training instead of Part 46 training. Whether you are a miner or an independent contractor, there are sections within the Part 46 training that must address issues of your specific operation. This course offers special instruction that will help you do that. We provide training for the MSHA recommended topics [Section 46.8]. In addition, this training will help you accomplish your ultimate goal beyond MSHA compliance; to keep your miners safe. You should be aware of what regulations cover your activity at the mine. There may be additional training requirements or stipulations not covered here.
