MSHA Part 46 and Part 48 Training, Documented

Mine operators face the toughest training standards in American industry — Part 46 for surface, Part 48 for underground — plus daily hazard briefings. ARKVOS-1 generates the briefings, verifies miner attendance with selfie + GPS, and exports MSHA-ready records.

MSHA Part 46 / Part 48 Aware

Pre-written talks aligned to Part 46 (surface mines, sand & gravel, aggregate) and Part 48 (underground coal and metal/non-metal) training topics — new miner, newly-employed experienced, annual refresher, task training.

Contractor Training Records

Mine operators are responsible for ensuring contractors at the mine have completed required training. ARKVOS gives operators a roll-up view of every contractor crew's training compliance.

Selfie + GPS at the Portal

Miners check in at the portal, surface yard, or pit edge with a selfie + GPS lock. Every briefing acknowledgement is SHA-256 hashed for the audit trail.

Form 5000-23 Workflow Support

Maintain digital records that complement MSHA Form 5000-23 certification of training. Export PDF and CSV evidence for inspector visits.

Hazard-Specific Talks

ARKVOS-1 generates talks for ground control, dust, diesel particulate, electrical, mobile equipment, and explosives handling — tuned to surface or underground.

Frequently asked questions

Does ARKVOS replace MSHA Form 5000-23?

No. Form 5000-23 is the operator's certification that training occurred. ARKVOS stores the underlying evidence — who attended, when, where (GPS), with a selfie and cryptographic hash — that backs up what you certify on Form 5000-23.

Can we document contractor miner training?

Yes. Contractors at the mine can be added as branches; their crews complete briefings tied to your mine. The operator sees roll-up compliance, contractors retain their own records.

Does it work in underground areas with no signal?

Yes. The check-in PWA captures selfie + GPS at the surface or portal where signal is available, and queues underground events for sync on return. Original timestamps are preserved.

Can ARKVOS-1 write task-training content?

ARKVOS-1 drafts task-specific safety talks aligned to MSHA training topics. A qualified trainer at your mine should still review and adapt to your site-specific hazards before publishing.
