CTO offers online training for Cal/OSHA, DOT HAZMAT, EEOC, EPA, HIPAA, IATA, IMDG, MSHA, OSHA, Canada OHS, and TDG, including online surface and underground mining safety training courses based on MSHA regulations.
With engaging audio and video content, our courses ensure high retention and efficient learning. Upon completion, students can instantly print their certificates and wallet cards.
To be MSHA compliant your company must have a training plan that is approved by MSHA and administered by a competent person. Our selection of online certification courses can be used as part of your company's MSHA-approved training plan, which is required for MSHA compliance. Our Part 46 and Part 48 training plan courses are designed to help you create, implement, and complete an approved MSHA training plan specific to your surface or underground mine site. Training can begin immediately anywhere there is an Internet connection.
MSHA training online helps miners and contractors identify and minimize exposure to hazards typically found at mines. Depending on the type of online training you require, course content may also include emergency procedures, first aid, miners' rights and responsibilities, hazard communication, electrical safety, confined spaces, and materials handling safety.
Mining safety training is divided into two parts: MSHA Part 46 Surface Miner training and MSHA Part 48 Underground Miner training. Working in mines poses numerous health hazards, such as cave-ins, explosions, landslides, and hazardous materials. Before you begin work at a mine site, it is important that you understand these hazards and your rights as a miner. Safety is the most important consideration in any mining endeavor.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulates and inspects mine sites to ensure that miners have received MSHA regulations training. MSHA training is required for all new mining employees, including contractors, and experienced miners must complete annual refresher training.

MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) training refers to federally mandated safety education for miners. It aims to equip workers with essential knowledge about mining hazards, health standards, emergency procedures, and safe work practices as outlined under 30 CFR Part 46 (surface mining) and Part 48 (underground and coal mining). It includes both new miner and annual refresher training.
Technically, there’s no such thing as an official “MSHA certification.” The term is often used as a shorthand for completing MSHA training and receiving proof of completion. Anyone working in mining operations regulated by MSHA must complete this training. That includes miners, supervisors, independent contractors, and construction workers at mine sites. Even contractors or service personnel who spend significant time at a mine are required to complete MSHA training.
Yes. MSHA allows online training that meets regulatory standards. CTO offers fully online, self-paced courses, with instant certificate issuance upon successful completion.
The cost of MSHA safety training depends on the specific course you need. Prices can vary based on the type of training, course length, and whether you’re taking it on its own or as part of a bundle. Whether you're a new miner or completing annual refresher training, we offer affordable options to meet your compliance needs.
Yes. Our online MSHA courses are carefully designed to meet federal requirements under 30 CFR Part 46 and Part 48. They are structured to be used as components of a mine operator’s MSHA-compliant training plan and can be integrated into your employer’s record-keeping and training system.
The length of MSHA safety training depends on the type of course and how it’s delivered. For example, New Miner Training under Part 46 for surface miners requires a total of 24 hours, which combines eight hours of foundational training with an additional 16 hours of site-specific instruction provided by the employer. Once you’re trained, you’ll need to complete Annual Refresher Training, which usually takes around eight hours each year. If you choose live virtual or in-person formats, these hours are often scheduled into single-day sessions, while online courses may allow you to progress at your own pace.
Yes. Federal law mandates that miners receive both initial and annual refresher training. Mine operators must maintain effective training plans, and instructors must meet competency requirements for compliance with training regulations.
