Tomorrow (April 25th) is the last day to let MSHA know that you want their disastrous new workplace exam rule delayed.

You can submit your comment right here.

MSHA has been seeking comments on its proposal to delay the effective date of the metal/non-metal workplace exam rule “to provide stakeholders training and compliance assistance.”

As Mine Industry Attorney (and friend of MSC) Willa Perlmutter puts it:

“It’s an odd basis for saying they want to extend the rule, since the need for stakeholder training and compliance assistance was surely contemplated when the final rule was published back in January. This leads me to think that MSHA is considering whether to pull (or at least, to radically amend) the rule altogether.”

This guide will teach you to print your MSHA Part 46 Certificate after you’ve already completed your MSHA training with Mine Safety Center.

When you finish MSC’s Part 46 training, you still need to print your MSHA Part 46 Certificate. When all of the modules are complete, a certificate icon will appear on the My Courses page.

To print your MSHA certificate, click the icon. Your certificate will open in a new browser tab. Verify the information is correct. Then click the Print Certificate button at the top right. Your browser’s print options will open. The next steps to print will be slightly different from broswer-to-browser. If you wish to save the certificate as a PDF file rather than print a hard copy, look for the option titled “Save to PDF” or “Print to PDF”.

In order to get the most out of Mine Safety Center’s automatic certificate features, you need to complete information for each trainee profile, including:

1. Full name as it appears on a trainee’s birth certificate including middle name (not just an initial) and any suffixes (Jr. etc.) if applicable
2. The address of the location where the majority of training will take place
3. The name of the training location. Is that location your office, their home, or some other location?

It’s a good idea to gather all this information before you begin updating your trainee profiles.

How To Update or Edit MSHA Trainee Profiles

Log in to the Mine Safety Center training portal

Navigate to Add / Update Users in the main menu

Use the search box, filters options, and/or page navigation to locate a specific trainee. When located, click on their username, first, or last name to edit there profile.

We have confirmation on the updated MSHA workplace exam rule after some initial confusion around the Trump Administration’s freeze on all Obama era regulations not finalized in the Federal Register. The MSHA workplace exam rule will go into effect on May 23rd as scheduled. This means your current MSHA workplace inspection form will soon be wrong.

Has anyone come up with an MSHA workplace inspection form that meets the new requirements?

Yes, and you can get it for free. More on that later.

How did the new MSHA workplace exam rule get through?

According to Willa Perlmutter, an attorney at Stoel-Rives:

“The Labor Department’s current position is that the workplace examination rules were not affected by the memorandum and that the May 23 effective date remains in place.”

It’s official, the new MSHA workplace exam rule will go into effect May 23rd, 2017. We covered this rule change when it was proposed in July. Safety officials and managers across the country had a negative reaction to the proposal, to say the least (more on that later).
