The award-winning New Miner Training, 5th edition, program is a must-have for your organization. This important training tool includes all the information you need on meeting Mining Health and Safety Administration requirements, with additional information on diesel particulate matter, wellness, silica, and first aid.
The DVD allows you to work through the program, and you can stop when needed. You’ll find it easy to access again as a “returning user” to complete the training. If you need to retake a session, simply return to the beginning of the test section and start again.
Once you have successfully completed all the sections in the New Miner Training course, you will receive a certificate of completion, which displays the time spent on each module and total time spent in the program. Finally, print a full-size certificate for your records and a smaller size for your wallet.

Frequently Asked Question
Will this product satisfy all of MSHA's New Miner Training Requirements?
This product is intended to be utilized for at least the first 4 hours of the 24 hours of training required by the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Mine Safety and Health Administration’s (MSHA) regulations. However, MSHA requires training that is specific to each mine site that this program cannot address. In addition to this training, operators must train employees on all required topics required by 30 C.F.R. §46.5(b) and 30 C.F.R. §46.5(c).
Each person at a mine site is responsible for ensuring that health and safety standards are observed at all times. The employer is accountable for providing information, instruction, and supervision to all workers. A competent person(s) is obligated to ensure all workers are properly trained and are compliant with regulations. Mine employees are responsible for observing all standards and practicing safe work habits.
Your company must have a training plan that lists this training, is administered by a competent person, and complies with 30 C.F.R. §46.3. In addition, you must complete a training certificate or an MSHA form 5000-23 which meets the requirements of 30 C.F.R. §46.9.
