Safety Training Delivered by MCET for the Maryland Mines.
How does this help you?
We believe a well-delivered training program is necessary to address injury prevention. We will work with you to deliver training geared towards your written training program when we provide your Part 48 training, Part 46 training, New Miner training, 8 Hour Refresher training, or other industry-specific training components. We believe our success with these sessions is related to the combination of the support, input and feedback from the mining industry and the commitment of the MCET trainers.

Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) State Grants Program
The Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) State Grants Program distributes federal grants to 49 States, Puerto Rico and the Navajo Nation for safety and healthtraining for miners. MCET received this grant, in partnership with MDE, initially in 2004. Today, this program delivers training for miners and mining sub-contractors throughout our State.
What are we doing in Maryland?
Using this grant funding, MCET delivers industry-specific safety and safety training courses and programs which are designed to reduce injuries and mining accidents, and illness. Our programs are geared to the employees - surface miners, coal miners, the Metal and Nonmetal industry, and the Maryland Surface Coal Mining industry.
