Mine Safety and Health Training

The Department of Labor of the United States of America has announced the availability of $10.5 million in funding to enhance mine safety and health training nationwide. This funding, which is a component of the State Grants program for the fiscal year 2024 and is administered by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), is intended to be used to provide mandatory training to miners employed in metal and nonmetal mines, as well as surface and underground coal mines.  State, tribal, and territory administrations are eligible to receive grants of this nature, which may cover up to eighty percent of the program’s expenses. The application submission deadline is August 20, 2024, and the funds will be distributed by September 30, 2024.
