# Duty 5: Conduct walk around power on

Learner will demonstrate how to conduct a safe and thorough walk around
of the continuous miner with the power on. Learner will also explain the
job duties, why they are conducted, any associated risk, and how to
implement appropriate controls. A thorough walk around inspection
includes the following job steps:
