MSHA training for New Orleans and southeast Louisiana
Part 46 and Part 48 training for river sand and gravel operations, clay pits, industrial mineral plants, and contractors across southeast Louisiana.
Areas we serve
Training and field services where your crews work.
Southeast Louisiana aggregate comes off the river and out of the marsh, and the crews running those operations answer to the same federal MSHA training rules as any hard rock mine. We train them live online on Central time, or on site when a dredge crew or plant needs the whole shift covered at once.
New Orleans area mining is dominated by sand and gravel dredging along the Mississippi and its distributaries, clay and shale pits feeding brick and lightweight aggregate plants, and the industrial mineral and aggregate terminals that handle material moving through the port complex. Surface sand, gravel, and stone operations are Part 46, where new miners need 24 hours, experienced miners need 8, and everyone needs an 8-hour annual refresher. Underground and other mineral work falls 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 New Orleans, 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 Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, St. Charles, Lafourche, and Tangipahoa parishes. Live online classes run on Central time, and on-site dates are quoted with instructor travel from our Texas base.
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.
