TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Tallahassee Community College's Florida Public Safety Institute is now offering Spring Training Courses for the Florida Mine Safety and Health Training (FMSH) Program.

The primary goal of the FMSH Program is to have a positive impact on the awareness of safety and occupational health hazards in Florida mining environments.

FMSH will conduct effective mine health and safety training classes in order to eliminate fatal injuries and reduce the frequency and severity of mining accidents.

"We are very proud that Florida's incident rate continues to be below the national rate, and among the lowest in the United States, due in no small part to the effective training of its mining workforce provided by FMSH," said Karen Miller, program coordinator of the Florida Mine Safety Training Program. "Our miners are our most precious resource, and they are the foundation of everything we have achieved. We place the highest value on designing programs to reduce mining accidents, injuries, and illnesses."

The FMSH Program continues to provide training in direct response to mining companies and contractor needs to ensure that they are in compliance with mandatory health and safety training programs for all miners in Florida.
