Part 46 or 48
Do you need Part 46 or Part 48 training? Part 46 applies to miners working at surface shell dredging, sand, gravel, surface stone, surface clay, colloidal phosphate, surface limestone, marble, granite, sandstone, slate, shale, traprock, kaolin, cement, feldspar, and lime mines. If the mine site you are going to is not mining one of these minerals, you probably need Part 48 training. Always check with the mine to confirm the type of training they require and will accept. Go back to the home page if you need Part 48
Written MSHA Plan
Do you need a Part 46 Written Training Plan? All mining operations and contractors which fall under Part 46 must develop and implement a written training plan of their own. Independent contractors who employ "miners" are also primarily responsible for providing comprehensive training to their employees. This requires independent contractors to develop a training plan containing effective programs for providing this training. If you have one that is awesome. If you don't, you can write your own or you can have us write one for you.
MSHA ID #
Do you need an MSHA ID Number? Here is a question and answer directly from MSHA
Q. In section 46.3(b)(1), the regulation requires an independent contractor to list the MSHA independent contractor number on the training plan. As an independent contractor, do I need to have an MSHA independent contractor number in order to have an approved training plan?
A. If you have or get an MSHA independent contractor number, you must put it on your training plan. Unless required for other purposes under Title 30 CFR, MSHA does not require an independent contractor to get an MSHA contractor ID number for the purpose of having an approved Part 46 training plan.
That sounds good but what does "Unless required for other purposes under Title 30 CFR" mean? independent contractors that will be doing any of the 9 tasks below in MSHA jurisdictions would be required to have an MSHA Identification Number:
1. Mine development, including shaft and slope sinking;
2. Construction or reconstruction of mine facilities including building or rebuilding preparation plants and mining equipment, and building additions to existing facilities;
3. Demolition of mine facilities;
4. Construction of dams;
5. Excavation or earthmoving activities involving mobile equipment;
6. Equipment installation, such as crushers and mills;
7. Equipment service or repair of equipment on mine property for a period exceeding five consecutive days at a particular mine; 8. Material handling within mine property including haulage of coal, ore, refuse, etc., unless for the sole purpose of direct removal from or delivery to mine property; and
9. Drilling and blasting.
In my personal opinion, I would get an ID number if I were you. If you have one that is awesome. If you don't but you want/need one, you can file for your own or you can have us file for one.

MSHA Training
How much time does MSHA training require? The total time for MSHA Surface New Miner is 24 hours. However, MSHA does allow the worker to start work upon completion of 4 hours of training. Provided he/she works on the mine site under the observation of an experienced miner before completing the remainder of the training (30 CFR § 46.5(a)). Before doing partial training you need to check with the mine you are going to be working at. It is common for a mine to require contract workers to complete the whole 24 hours before beginning work. After completing the New Miner you must complete 8 hours of Annual Refresher each year to keep your training up to date.
