MSHA training for Austin area mines and quarries
Part 46 and Part 48 classes, refresher licensing, and on-site safety services for quarries, ready-mix, and construction materials crews across Central Texas.
Areas we serve
Training and field services where your crews work.
Austin keeps building, and the crushed limestone, sand, and gravel that feed it come from pits and quarries within an hour of downtown. We train the miners working those operations, from the loader operator on day one to the plant crew that needs its annual refresher before the year closes out.
Central Texas operations are mostly surface mines working Edwards and Buda limestone for aggregate, along with sand and gravel pits along the Colorado and Brazos drainages. Most of these are Part 46 mines, which means new miners need 24 hours of training, experienced miners need 8, and everyone on site needs 8 hours of refresher each year.
We come to you
Every service on this page travels. We teach classes in your shop, trailer, or pit parking lot in Austin, write plans from your own records, and perform evaluations on your equipment. Travel is quoted up front, with no per-mile surprise on the invoice.
Live instructor-led, never computer-based
When you train online, an MSHA instructor teaches the class live on camera in real time. There are no self-paced modules, recorded videos, or slideshow quizzes, and miners can ask questions and get answers the same day.

How classes run
Crews in Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, and Caldwell counties usually join our live online classes on Central time. If you would rather have an instructor come to the pit, we schedule on-site dates for your whole crew.
Live online classes are taught in real time by an MSHA instructor, never as a self-paced computer-based course, and require a computer, webcam, and valid photo ID. Every miner leaves with a certificate and a 5000-23 form filed to your training records.
