The offerings are designed for those who work, or intend to work in surface mining or processing environments, such as sand, gravel, surface stone, surface clay, colloidal phosphate or surface limestone mines.
The MSHA 4-hour New Miner Part 1 (Site Entry) course serves as a primer for new or inexperienced miners, providing information needed to enter and work on a mine site, and can be used towards meeting new miner training requirements.

It covers work environment basics, emergency medical procedures, health and safety aspects of specific tasks, responsibilities of supervisors, line management and others to maintain a safe environment, and more.
Like all ClickSafety offerings, the MSHA courses use a flexible, customizable and interactive "student-centered" e-learning platform designed to ensure learning and retention. Participants who successfully complete the courses will receive course completion and training record documentation, and IACET Continuing Education Units.
"We're very excited to expand our course offerings to encompass surface mining safety," said ClickSafety General Manager, Matt Daniel.
