This video series focuses specifically on training requirements at small aggregate mining operations that produce crushed stone, sand, and gravel. These training requirements are covered under 30 CFR Part 46.

The material in this program is not intended to replace the information in your mine’s Part 46 training plan; rather, it should be used as a tool or a guide to assist your mine in developing an effective training plan.

The “Aggregates Safety Series: Small Mines” video series was produced by MSHA in cooperation with the Maine Aggregate Association.
