**Developing a Training Plan**

**Your plan may be in any format, so long as it includes all the
required information and describes how the miners will be trained.
Training plans can be [hand-written, typed, or generated on a
computer]{.underline}. Also, we will have available on our website
([www.msha.gov)]{.underline} a program that will electronically walk you
through the steps of developing a training plan. You can use whatever
format works best for your operation.**

**The sample forms in this section are [strictly optional]{.underline}.
We are making them available as just one way you might put together your
training plan. You may decide to use the entire sample plan or you might
select certain sections to enhance the program you already have in
place.**

**Instructions**

**This sample training plan covers all the required topics under part
46. If you complete these materials thoughtfully with regard to your own
operation, you will have an approved training plan. Space is provided
for each of the required subjects. We have also provided options for
teaching methods, course materials and evaluation procedures, and a
place to list your estimated teaching time for each subject so that you
can customize the plan to meet your specific needs. If additional pages
are needed for other subjects or tasks, you may make copies from this
package. If the information you provide is complete and correct, you
will be in compliance with the plan requirements for part 46.**

**If you need assistance completing the training plan, you may contact
Educational Field Services (see list of educational field services
contacts in this starter kit), MSHA District Offices, or an MSHA State
Grants Program (see list of grantees in this starter kit).**

**If you choose to send a training plan to us, please use the
appropriate following address (see map below):**

**If a plan does not include the required minimum information listed in
the rule, you must submit the plan to the appropriate Regional Manager,
Educational Field Services Division, for approval.**

**Sample Plan Instructions**

**Training Programs**

**Under each subject listed in your plan, check the teaching methods,
course materials, and evaluation procedures that apply. If a subject
does not apply to your mine or operation, indicate this by checking**
A**not applicable**@ **in the block for that subject. Instructions for
completing the subject blocks in all the training programs are as
follows:**

**[Time]{.underline}**

**Indicate the approximate number of hours and/or minutes that will be
spent on each subject within each training program. The time may be a
single amount, such as, [45]{.underline} minutes; or a range of times,
such as, [30]{.underline} minutes to [1]{.underline} hour.**

**[Teaching Methods]{.underline}**

**Indicate the method by which each subject is to be taught. Some of the
more common methods include:**

-   **Lecture**

-   **Discussion (normally used with other methods)**

-   **Audiovisual**

-   **Demonstration (often used when teaching skills)**

-   **Site tour (walk around tours of the work environment)**

-   **Games (good for annual refresher and for evaluations)**

-   **Practice (used when teaching and evaluating skills)**

    **[Course Training Materials]{.underline}**

**Indicate the materials that will be used for each subject. Some places
where you can get training materials include:**

-   **MSHA**=**s National Mine Health and Safety Academy in Beckley,
    West Virginia**

**(refer to the *Catalog of Training Products for the Mining
Industry*)**

-   **State grantees**

-   **Trade associations**

-   **Not-for-profit groups (e.g., National Safety Council; American
    Society of Safety Engineers)**

-   **Insurance carriers**

    **[Evaluation Procedures]{.underline}**

**Several procedures are available for evaluating the retention and
understanding of the trainee. Some examples of evaluation procedures
include:**

-   **Oral or written examination**

-   **Demonstrated performance**

-   **Observation of trainee reactions and understanding**

-   **Participation in discussions and activities**

*If your company operates more than one mine, there must be one plan for
each mine and mine ID number. Independent contractors should list their

contractors [do not]{.underline} need a contractor ID number in order
for their plan to be approved.*

employed by an independent training service, or may be an instructor for
a State Grants Program. If you employ a training organization, you may
list the organization name and not the names of each individual person
or instructor. When an organization is listed, all instructors of that
organization will be included by reference and will change as the
organization\'s staffing changes. For each person or organization, list
the subject areas in which they are competent to instruct.*

aspects and safe work procedures specific to that new task. This
training will be provided before the miner performs the new task. If a
change occurs in a miner\'s assigned task that affects the health and

that addresses the change. Practice under close observation of a
competent person may be used to fulfill the requirement for task
training under this section \[*Section 46.7(d)*\].

specified under this section is exposed to mine hazards \[*Section
46.11(a)*\].

This training will be given to any person who is not a miner as defined
by Section 46.2 but is present at the mine site. Such persons may
include, but are not limited to, office personnel, delivery workers, and
customers \[*Section 46.11(b)*\]. This training will also be provided to
miners, such as drillers or blasters, who move from one mine to another
mine while remaining employed by the same production-operator or
independent contractor \[*Section 46.11(c)*\].

Site-specific hazard awareness training is not required for any person
who is accompanied at all times by an experienced miner who is familiar
with hazards specific to the mine \[*Section 46.11(f)*\].

The production-operator has primary responsibility for ensuring that
hazard awareness training is given to employees of independent
contractors who are required to receive that training. The
production-operator will provide information to each independent
contractor who employs a person at the mine on site-specific mine
hazards \[*Section 46.12(a)*\].

Each independent contractor who employs a miner (as defined in Section
46.2) at the mine has primary responsibility for providing new miner
training, newly-hired experienced miner training, new task training, and
annual refresher training. Independent contractors will inform the
production-operator of any hazards contractors may create by the
performance of their work at the mine \[*Section 46.12(b)*\].

**A. Training will address site-specific health and safety risks. The
training will include the following subjects or other special safety
procedures, where appropriate** \[*Section 46.11(d)*\].

*Independent contractors who will be receiving hazard awareness training
from the production-operator and will not need to provide this training
to their own employees or employees of other independent contractors are
not required to complete this part of the training plan.*
