Do Gulf Coast sand and gravel pits fall under Part 46?

Surface sand and gravel mines and their contractors are Part 46 operations, which is the program we run for most Houston area pits.

What about dredging crews?

Shell dredging and similar surface operations are covered by Part 46. We confirm the commodity and operation type before scheduling so the class matches your citation risk.

Can one training log cover several Houston yards?

Yes. Every class produces certificates and 5000-23 forms, and we file them to your company training records so a single log covers every location.

MSHA training for Houston area pits and plants

Part 46 and Part 48 training plus field safety services for sand and gravel pits, industrial mineral plants, and Gulf Coast contractors.

Houston, Texas

Houston area operations run a wide mix of material: sand and gravel pits feeding ready-mix, industrial minerals moving through the ship channel, and contractors who work at mine sites on the side. That mix means training plans that fit the actual operation, not a generic slide deck.

The Gulf Coast is largely surface sand and gravel and industrial mineral work, much of it Part 46, with barges and rail moving aggregate in and out of the region. Contractors who perform work at a mine site carry their own training obligations, which is where a lot of citations start.

We come to you

Every service on this page travels. We teach classes in your shop, trailer, or pit parking lot in Houston, 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 work with operations in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston counties. Online live classes run on Central time, and on-site dates are available for crews that need the whole shift trained at once.

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.
