Mining Electrical Safety

About This Course

Working with or around electricity in a mine presents unique risks. This 100% online, self-paced course introduces MSHA electrical safety regulations and training expectations, then walks through common hazards, such as electric shock, arc flash, fire, and explosion, and the practical controls that help reduce them. You’ll review safe work practices, equipment considerations, and responsibilities so you can support a safer jobsite and compliance with MSHA regulations. 

This training is appropriate for mine operators, supervisors, safety personnel, and other mine workers who interact with on-site electrical systems or work near energized equipment. By the end, you’ll be better prepared to recognize electrical hazards, follow established procedures, and apply risk-reduction measures. 

Employers deliver MSHA training under an approved plan. This course provides foundational content that can support MSHA New Miner Training and ongoing education. Additional site-, task-, and on-the-job instruction may be required by your employer’s plan. 

Who Needs Mining Electrical Safety Certification?

While MSHA doesn’t issue an official “certification,” this course is appropriate for mine operators, supervisors, safety personnel, and other mine workers who work with or near energized equipment. It provides foundational electrical-safety content that can support an employer’s MSHA training plan.
