Why Should You Take This MSHA Annual Refresher Online Training Course?

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is an agency of the United States Department of Labor which administers the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) to enforce compliance with mandatory safety and health standards as a means to eliminate fatal accidents, to reduce the frequency and severity of nonfatal accidents, to minimize health hazards, and to promote improved safety and health conditions in the nation's mines. 

This MSHA Annual Refresher Online Training course is designed to assist you in meeting the Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Part 48 annual refresher requirements for most above-ground mines or above-ground operations at underground mines. 

Topics To Be Covered Include:

• Statutory Rights of Miners
• Self-Rescue & Respiratory Devices
• Transportation & Communication Systems
• Emergency Medical Procedures
• Ground Control
• Hazard Recognition and Communication
• First Aid
• Electrical Safety
• Explosives

Please Note:  Annual Refresher training is required and may include other health and safety subjects that are relevant to mining operations at the mine. Recommended subjects include, but are not limited to, information about the physical and health hazards of chemicals in the miner's work area, the protective measures a miner can take against these hazards, and the contents of the miner's HazCom program.

Warning! If a mine operator is caught by MSHA having non-MSHA trained personnel on site or within their records, the mine gets a $10,000 fine and you as the worker are escorted off the mine site, not to return until you are MSHA trained! Fines are assessed at a case by case basis and the dollar amount is subject to change depending on the offense.
