Since 1997, this award-winning program has been conducted at approximately 40 aggregates mine sites across the country, educating more than 350 students. This is a unique opportunity to learn how to conduct noise and dust exposure monitoring, record and interpret results and develop plans to reduce exposures below MSHA permissible limits.
The 3-day workshop is two days of classroom application and one day of field work in which each participant puts noise and dust monitoring equipment on working miners, and collects exposure measurements under real-world circumstances. A competency exam is administered on the final day of the workshop.
