This information session is for PACIF members that operate or supervise gravel and/or sand pits or related operations that are subject to regulation by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor. Topics will include: 

• The various types of operating scenarios that municipalities have and how MSHA regulations and training requirements apply.

• Different ways to complete the MSHA annual refresher training. 

• How the MSHA Compliance and Assistance Office can help you meet aspects of the regulation without the risk of citations. 

• Specific pit operations guidance on topics such as proper signage, berms, on-site office space and bathrooms, appropriate erosion control measures, noise and dust control, and standing water in pits. 

• Who is responsible for providing the required training when working in a pit that’s not operated by the municipality.

Presenter

Blane Shrewsberry, Mine Safety and Health Specialist, U.S. Department of Labor
