MSHA training for Tucson area copper and aggregate operations
Part 48 and Part 46 training for copper mines, aggregate pits, and contractors across southern Arizona, live online on Arizona time or on site.
Areas we serve
Training and field services where your crews work.
Southern Arizona is the biggest copper district in the country, and its mines sit alongside the sand and gravel pits that build the valley around them. Copper is a metal mine, so the training rules come from Part 48 rather than Part 46 — and we run both, so one vendor can cover every crew on your site.
Most southern Arizona mining is copper — open pit and underground operations, leach pads, concentrators, and smelter support — all of it Part 48 metal and nonmetal work with 24 hours of new miner training, 8 hours for experienced miners, and an 8-hour annual refresher. The sand, gravel, and crushed stone pits serving the valley are Part 46 operations.
We come to you
Every service on this page travels. We teach classes in your shop, trailer, or pit parking lot in Tucson, 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
We train crews across Pima, Santa Cruz, Cochise, Pinal, and Maricopa counties. Live online classes run on Arizona time, which stays on standard time year round, and underground classes are scheduled on site.
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.
