MSHA & Phosphate Contractor Training
Mine-site training for Central Florida's phosphate country, from new miner courses to the contractor orientations each site requires.
Overview
STC is based in Lithia, at the edge of Central Florida's phosphate district, and teaches the courses the region's mine and plant sites ask of contractors and miners. Courses cover MSHA Part 46 and Part 48 requirements and the Florida Phosphate Producers contractor safety program.
Classes can be split around shift patterns, as three 8-hour days or two 12-hour days, and site-specific orientations can be scheduled at the client's location.
