MSHA training for Salem and the Willamette Valley
Part 46 and Part 48 training for Willamette River sand and gravel operations, basalt quarries, and concrete crews across the mid-valley.
Areas we serve
Training and field services where your crews work.
The mid-valley runs on river gravel and crushed basalt, and its pits and batch plants sit close enough together that one class can cover several yards. We keep those crews trained on a predictable calendar so a new hire never waits on a seat.
Willamette Valley mining is sand and gravel dredging and pits along the Willamette and its tributaries, crushed basalt quarries, and the brick clay and concrete operations that support valley construction. Surface sand, gravel, and stone work is Part 46: 24 hours for a new miner, 8 for an experienced miner, and an 8-hour annual refresher for every miner. Other mineral and underground 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 Salem, 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 Marion, Polk, Linn, Benton, and Yamhill counties, including Keizer, Woodburn, Stayton, and Albany. Online live classes run on Pacific time, and Spanish-language instruction is available on request.
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.
