CMC’s MSHA Bootcamp is an intensive, practice‑focused training designed to prepare mine operators, contractors, safety professionals, and site leaders for the realities of MSHA inspections, investigations, enforcement actions, and liability exposure. Built on decades of MSHA enforcement experience, this program demystifies how MSHA exercises its authority, what triggers inspections, how inspectors evaluate conditions, and how operators can effectively manage compliance obligations and inspector interactions.

Participants will get detailed guidance on managing inspector interactions, documenting inspections, managing accident investigations, handling document requests, navigating complicated abatement requirements, responding to Section 105(c) whistleblower complaints, and protecting the company and its agents during Section 110 investigations. Whether you operate a coal mine, metal/nonmetal mine, or serve as an independent contractor, this Bootcamp provides the tools to manage MSHA’s inspection process from arrival to closeout.

This curated program can be customized in duration (full-day, half-day, or multi-day) and content (by industry, experience level).
