Through the generous contributions of Harry Lovely and Danny Knott, we've built an outstanding collection of mine rescue, bench, first aid and pre-shift contest problems. We've organized them by year and event for both Coal and Metal/Nonmetal. Years available: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. You can also find several cool problem animations created by MSHA's Jason Middleton. We've also got videos from past national contests.

Always on the prowl
for new information that can assist you, I recently discovered the West Virginia Underground and Surface
Mine Foreman Reciprocity Study Guides at the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health Safety and Training web site. The 200 questions
and answers which make up the study guides have been adapted for this site with the creation of twenty - 10 question online
quizzes. Also included are several files you can download if you just want the Q&A and prefer to not take the online tests.
The videos assembled here show how quickly workers can be injured or killed on the job and are intended to assist those in the industry to identify, reduce, and eliminate construction-related hazards. Most of the videos are 2 to 4 minutes long, presented in clear, easily accessible vocabulary, and show common construction worksite activities. The videos may be used for employer and worker training.
Trainers can take full advantage of the resources they can find here when embarking on their next project. Choose from hundreds of videos and thousands of photographs available to compliment your presentations.
When plowing through the wealth of resources assembled here, it is suggested that you first try searching categorically from our Training Material Repository or use keywords with the custom Google search found here. Our entire site has been indexed enabling more ease in finding what you're after.
Be sure to allow sufficient time, you might be here for awhile. ;)
