State Grants Program distributes federal grants to 49
States, Puerto Rico and the Navajo Nation. Maryland
received this grant, in partnership with MDE, initially in 2004.
Today, this program delivers training for miners and mining
sub-contractors throughout our State.
What are we doing in
Maryland?
MCET delivers industry-specific health and safety
training courses and programs which are designed to reduce injuries
and mining accidents,
and illness. Our programs are geared to the employees - surface
miners, coal miners, the Metal and Non Metal industry, and the
Maryland Coal Mining industry.
How does this help the you?
We believe a well-delivered training program is necessary to address
injury prevention. We will work with you to deliver training
geared towards your written training program when we provide Part 46
training, New Miner training, 8 Hour Refresher training, and other
industry specific training components. We believe our success with
these sessions is related to the combination of the support, input and feedback from the
mining industry and the commitment of the MCET trainers.
What specific training can
MCET deliver?
MCET gathered
information from the advisory board and from your feedback to
determine state-wide training needs. We have developed and delivered
the following training courses: Part 46, Part 48, 8 hour
annual refresher, and other sessions such as CPR & First Aid.
