The mining industry presents numerous hazards, which is why MSHA requires mining refresher safety training. In addition to the 24 hours of new miner training, miners must receive 8 hours of refresher training annually. MSHA Part 46 refresher training is specific to hazards found at surface mines and provides best practices for accident prevention. Our online training course covers health and safety factors, instructions on safe equipment use, emergency procedures, and more.

This course is for:
This MSHA Part 46 refresher training online course is designed for operators, supervisors, safety personnel, and all other individuals who work at surface mines. MSHA surface refresher topics help miners identify and minimize exposure to hazards typically found at surface mines.

Case Study: On March 27, 2014, a 64-year-old foreman with 32 years of experience sustained fatal injuries when he was struck by a plastic water pipe being moved by an excavator.

Key Takeaways: This accident occurred because a miner without a hard hat was struck by a moving object. He should have stayed clear of the load and used taglines to guide and steady the pipe.

Governing Regulations

Title 30 CFR 46.8 requires 8 hours of annual MSHA surface refresher training. Part 46 refresher topics must cover changes at the mine that could adversely affect the miner's health or safety. This online certification course, in addition to our other MSHA refresher online courses, can be used as part of your company's MSHA-approved training plan.

On-site surface mine employees must receive this training. Training must also be available to visitors who want it.

TO BE MSHA COMPLIANT YOUR COMPANY MUST HAVE A TRAINING PLAN THAT IS APPROVED BY MSHA AND ADMINISTERED BY A COMPETENT PERSON. YOUR COMPANY CAN USE THIS OR ANY OF OUR COURSES AS PART OF THAT PLAN.

IT IS YOUR COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY to Record and certify that each miner has received training required under this part on MSHA Form 5000-23, or on a form that contains the information listed in paragraph (b) of 30 CFR § 46.9.

If you are a mine owner or supervisor and unsure how to write a training plan, we can help with our Part 46 Surface Mining Training Plan course, the only one like it in the mining training industry.
