About This Site

This site was conceived and launched in 2008 as a means of providing miners, trainers, responsible persons, safety people, and supervisors easy access to different types of training and education events and materials such as webcasts, videos, training modules, instructor guides, video clips, etc. Currently, all materials have been produced by the Penn State Miner Training Program (MTP) through funding provided by MSHA’s Brookwood-Sago Grants (BSG) and the generous support and assistance of mining companies, miners, independent contractors, and OEMs. Since 2007, the MTP has completed three projects, and is currently working on a fourth.
