Equipment Training - Class Schedule
2012 MSHA New Miner
This class will meet all of the MSHA requirements in Part 46 & Part 48 of the 30 CFR. Our class will certify you to work in all Surface, Metal, and Non-Metal mines upon completion. Local 49 members will receive a MSHA 5000 form that will allow you entrance to any surface mine within our region.
The first two days of this class will be focused on MSHA specific topics. The third mandatory day will be an 8 hour CPR/AED/First Aid certification class.
The employer is required to supply the training and pay your wages while you are trained and also any additional expenses such as gas, meals, and lodging if you should require it. This is the law.
If you can provide proof of certification within the past 12 months for CPR, you can opt out of the third day of the New Miner class. With this class, you will not be able to receive credit for the 8 hour refresher by taking the third day of the new Miner course.
