Welcome to the MSHA Training Plan Advisor. Federal regulations require all mines
to have a training plan. In some cases, independent contractors must develop their
own training plans. State Grantees and others may also develop their own plans.
There are two different types of training plans required, depending on the type of
mine or operation:
Surface nonmetal mines that are designated as shell dredging, sand, gravel,
surface stone, surface clay, colloidal phosphate, and surface limestone mines
are required to have a Part 46 training plan. Other types also include surface
operations that produce marble, granite, sandstone, slate, shale, traprock,
kaolin, cement, feldspar, and lime, even though these types are not specifically
included in the title of the Part 46 regulations.
All coal mines, all underground metal and nonmetal mines, and other surface
metal and nonmetal mines (not included above) are required to have a Part 48
training plan.
If you are a first time user, we recommend you read all applicable regulations and
policy documents. Additional help may be obtained from MSHA's Educational Policy
and Development Directorate (EPD) or District Offices, or from an MSHA approved
state grant program.
If you need assistance working through this computerized version of the training
plan, you may contact your local Educational Field Services representative or call
EPD Headquarters in Arlington at 202-693-9570. This assistance is to help you with
completing the plan. We would not be able to address specific problems with your
internet service provider, browser software, or computer hardware.
