MSHA training for Midland and the Permian Basin
Part 46 and Part 48 training for frac sand mines, caliche pits, ready-mix plants, and oilfield contractors across the Permian Basin.
Areas we serve
Training and field services where your crews work.
Midland runs on sand, stone, and the crews who move both, and nobody here has a spare day for a class in another city. We keep training on a fixed schedule so a new hire can be compliant before the next shift, and we come to your yard when the whole crew needs it at once.
Around Midland the work is silica sand mines and processing plants, caliche and borrow pits, crushed stone, and the ready-mix and oilfield materials suppliers that serve drilling operations. Sand mines, plants, and caliche pits are Part 46, so new miners need 24 hours, experienced miners need 8, and every miner needs an 8-hour annual refresher. Salt, sulfur, and other mineral work can fall under Part 48.
We come to you
Every service on this page travels. We teach classes in your shop, trailer, or pit parking lot in Midland, 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 Midland, Ector, Andrews, Martin, Howard, Glasscock, Upton, and Reagan counties. Live online classes run on Central time, and on-site dates are common for crews working long or rotating shifts.
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.
