MSHA Part 46 New Miner Training by CCS Safety Training

The CCS Safety Training’s Part 48B New Miner Training Course is designed to teach new miners about MSHA regulations and essential safety procedures that are crucial in preventing injuries and saving lives. This comprehensive 8-hour course, conducted on-site with experienced instructors, equips students to begin work at a Part 48B mine. Trainees will learn to recognize health and safety hazards at the mine site, minimize accidents and injuries, and effectively handle emergency response situations.

The learning modules in the Part 48B New Miner Training Course include:

Introduction to MSHA
Overview of Surface Mining
Health Hazards in Mining
Hazard Communication
Electricity, Fire, and Explosives
Mining Machinery and Equipment

Students must pass a quiz for each module, culminating in a final exam. There are unlimited attempts to pass these assessments. After successfully completing the final exam, participants can instantly download a U.S. Department of Labor Certificate of Training (MSHA Form 5000-23).

In addition to this on-site training, to fully comply with MSHA requirements, employers must provide an extra 16 hours of on-site training that addresses specific hazards at the mine.

Who needs MSHA Part 48B New Miner Training?

This course is essential for new miners, supervisors, construction workers, and independent contractors starting work at a Part 48B surface mine. Mines following Part 48B regulations include those involved in cement, colloidal phosphate, feldspar, granite, gravel, kaolin, lime, sand, sandstone, shale, shell dredging, slate, surface clay, limestone, marble, stone, and traprock operations.

How many hours of training are required to start working at a Part 48B mine?

Before beginning work at the mine, at least four hours of training covering mining safety topics and site-specific hazards is mandatory. The necessary training subjects are outlined in 30 CFR 46.5. Until all MSHA training requirements are met, new miners must work under the supervision of an experienced miner.

Is additional training required to comply with MSHA regulations?

Yes. Beyond the eight hours of New Miner training, new miners must complete an additional 16 hours of occupational health and safety training within the first 90 days of employment. This supplementary training, provided by the employer, must cover specific safety hazards at the mine.

Why On-site Training?

In the critical moment of accountability, when facing an OSHA inspector after an incident, how do you want to define your company’s commitment to safety? Would you prefer to admit to just meeting basic requirements through online videos, or proudly affirm that your company went above and beyond by investing in on-site, OSHA-certified trainers? Choose the path that not only enhances safety but also demonstrates your unwavering dedication to your employees’ well-being and compliance with the highest standards.

Hands-On Experience

On-site training allows for practical, hands-on learning experiences. This is particularly important for safety training, where physical demonstration and practice of safety procedures can be crucial.

Immediate Feedback and Interaction

Real instructors can provide immediate feedback and clarification. This interactive environment can enhance understanding and retention of safety protocols.

Customization to Specific Worksite Needs:

On-site trainers can tailor the training to the specific hazards and safety requirements of the workplace. This ensures that the training is directly relevant and applicable to the employees’ daily tasks.

Building a Safety Culture

Having an instructor physically present emphasizes the importance of safety in the workplace. It can help in fostering a culture of safety among the employees.

Enhanced Engagement

Physical presence of an instructor can lead to higher levels of engagement and participation. Employees are more likely to ask questions and interact in a live setting.

Observation of Workplace Practices

Instructors can observe the current practices and behaviors in the workplace, providing specific, contextual advice and adjustments to improve safety.

Team Building

On-site training can also serve as a team-building exercise, strengthening the teamwork skills necessary for effective safety practices.

Compliance with Specific OSHA Requirements

Certain OSHA training requirements may be more effectively met through on-site training, especially where practical demonstrations are required.

Reducing Miscommunication

Face-to-face training reduces the risk of miscommunication which can occur in online formats, ensuring clearer understanding of safety procedures.

Adaptability and Flexibility

On-site trainers can adapt their teaching style and content on the fly, based on the response and needs of the attendees.

Immediate Resolution of Queries

Any doubts or queries can be immediately addressed and resolved by the instructor, which is not always possible in online formats.

Networking and Sharing Experiences

Employees can share their experiences and learn from each other’s safety practices and incidents, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

Ensuring Engagement and Attendance

Physical presence in a training session ensures that employees are actually participating and attentive, as opposed to online training where engagement can be harder to monitor.

Motivation and Morale:

The investment in on-site training can boost employee morale, showing that the company values their safety and well-being.

Addressing Language and Literacy Barriers

On-site training can be more effectively modified to address language and literacy barriers among workers, ensuring that all employees receive the training they need.
