The Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) awarded more than $10.5 million in grant funding to support safety and health training and other programs.

MSHA awarded the grants to 46 states, Navajo Nation and the North Marina Islands.

The funds will be used to provide miners with federally mandated training, covering training and retraining of miners working at surface and underground coal and metal and nonmetal mines. According to MSHA, this includes miners engaged in shell dredging or those employed at surface stone, sand and gravel mining operations.

“These state grants help provide critical safety and health training for thousands of miners,” says Jeannette Galanis, principal deputy assistant secretary for MSHA. “MSHA is dedicated to keeping miners safe on the job, and this annual funding helps make sure miners across the country have access to proper safety training and resources.”
