Governing Regulations
MSHA is responsible for ensuring that miners are aware of the protocol and procedures concerning the operation of underground mine haulage. The MSHA Part 48 regulations cover all underground mines, including surface areas of underground mines. The material covered in this safety training is derived from 30 CFR Part 57 and 30 CFR Part 75.
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.
