Part 46 New Miner Training

The Part 46 online course, starting with the 4 hours new miners take before they start work at a surface mine (sand, gravel, stone, and similar operations). It runs online at the trainee’s pace, taught by an MSHA Approved Instructor (Part 48). This online course covers the classroom portion of the before-work subjects. Under 30 CFR 46.5(b), the mine operator must also provide the site walkaround and site-specific hazard training before the miner starts work. MSHA approves instructors under 30 CFR Part 48. MSHA does not approve or endorse Part 46 training courses, including this one. This page is a working preview: the first activity below is the real thing, exactly as trainees see it.

Try it: Walk the operation

Module 1 opens with a tap-through tour of a working plant. Tap a numbered stop to see what happens there and its main hazards.

In the full course, every stop must be visited before the module counts as complete, the same way the hazard hunts, machine walk-arounds, and scenario activities work in the later modules.
