BACKGROUND
Site specific hazard awareness training is required for independent contractors (including commercial over-the-road truck drivers). Site specific training is not required for any person who is accompanied at all times by an experienced miner who is familiar with hazards specific to this mine. Site-specific information or instruction include hazards a person could be exposed to while at the mine, as well as applicable emergency procedures. These hazards could be unique geological or environmental conditions, recognition and avoidance of hazards such as electrical and powered haulage hazards, traffic patterns and control, restricted areas, warning and evacuation signals, evacuation and emergency procedures, or other special safety procedures.

Training can include written hazards, oral instruction, signs and posted warnings, walk-around training, or other appropriate means that alert persons to site-specific hazards at the mine.

Each independent contractor that mines (loads their own vehicle) at this location has the primary responsibility of providing new miner, newly-hired experienced miner, new task, and annual refresher training for their employees. R.W. MILLER & SONS, INC. will provide information to each independent contractor on site-specific hazards and the obligation of the contractor to comply with Part 46 regulations.

Independent contractors must inform the production-operator/ R.W. Miller office of any hazard they create in the mine.

COMPLIANCE

R.W. MILLER & SONS, INC. will identify site-specific hazards through posted signs and warnings and written handouts including maps of hazard sites and traffic patterns. Independent contractors agree to sign a form stating that they have had the required training applicable to MSHA Part 46 previous to entering the mine.
