Mine Safety & Health Organization (MSHA):
Federal law requires that all new miners must receive 24 hours of training before working at a surface mine and annual refresher training every year after that.
The goal of IST’s MSHA’s classes is to provide awareness and understanding of the different types of mining conditions and different types of mines that can endanger miners health and safety. Industrial Safety Training provides the required training for students who will be entering the mining industry. IST’s approved MSHA plan gives students an overall understanding of mining hazards and safe workplace practices. Students will receive their 5000-23 form upon successful completion of training.
