| Training Plan for Part 48 Mines (including Placer) |
|
30 CFR Part 48 requires mine operators to develop and submit to MSHA a training plan
that outlines their company's procedure for training miners. We've attached a blank,
interactive form that you can use to develop your plan. This plan does NOT apply to shell dredging, sand, gravel, surface stone, surface clay, colloidal phosphate,
or surface limestone mines, which are covered by Part 46.

| Training Plan for Part 46 Mines - Sand and Gravel Operations |
|
30 CFR Part 46.3 requires that Part 46 mine operators develop a training plan that
outlines their company's procedure for training miners. We've attached a blank, interactive
form that you can use to develop your plan; plus an example for a fictitious company
to give you an idea of what a completed plan might look like. In addition to the training
plan for miners, the mine operator must implement a method that informs visitors of
mine hazards. This may be accomplished by signage at the mine and, as demonstrated
here, the use of a site-specific hazard awareness training plan.

| Examination of Workplaces |
|
MSHA 56.18002 requires that a competent person examine each working place at least
once every shift for conditions that affect safety and and health; in addition, a
supervisor is required to examine these as well. We've developed a daily sign-off
form for the employee and supervisor to use.

Take all of those MSDS' out of your file cabinet and put them into a binder that is
accessible to all your employees. To make your life easier, we've created pages that
go into a binder, along with a Hazardous Chemical Inventory form, which has fields
that you can type into.

| Mine Open/Close |

We've taken MSHA's Mine Open/Close form and made it interactive. The form provided
here is for Alaska.

| Transportation Info |
|
Not an MSHA requirement. Toss this checklist in the glove box of each vehicle, along
with a disposable camera. In the event of an accident, it prompts your employees to
document pertinent information that may be crucial later.

| First Aid |
|
Use our First Aid Plan Evaluation form to help you see gaps in your program, or help
put all your response information in one place. Another tool that students enjoy receiving
is our CPR Prompt card. Use the template to print cards, cut them out and laminate
for handy wallet cards. Emergencies are stressful enough without wondering if you
remember the proper technique.
