OTHER SOURCES OF TRAINING MATERIALS
THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK
This section of the catalog lists all available multimedia training material.

DVDs (Digital Versatile Disc) and videotapes are listed alphabetically by title. They offer trainers unique

opportunities to reinforce key training objectives, expand and enhance training sessions, and add variety to

training programs.

DVD technology means more interactivity is available to both student and instructor – may be used for

self-paced study or by an instructor in classroom presentations. It is suggested you use the programs to

complement training specific to your operation. In order to use the DVD program, YOU MUST HAVE A

DVD SET-TOP PLAYER OR A DVD EQUIPPED COMPUTER.

Where appropriate, coal-related items are designated (C) and metal/ nonmetal items are designated (MNM).

DEFINITIONS

CD – ROM (Pronounced see-dee-rom)

Short for Compact Disc-Read-Only Memory, CD-ROM is a type of optical disk capable of storing large

amounts of data (approximately 700 MB).

To read a CD, you need a CD-ROM player, common on computers. All CD-ROMs conform to a standard

size and format, so you can load any type of CD-ROM into any CD-ROM player. In addition, CD-ROM

players are capable of playing audio CDs, which share the same technology.

Interactive CD-ROM

Interactive is the back-and-forth dialog between the user and the computer.

DVD

Originally DVD was called “Digital Video Disc.” Since the technology became important to the computer

world, the “video” was dropped, and it was just D-V-D, “Digital Versatile Disc” by the DVD Forum. Take

your pick.

DVD-ROM

A read-only DVD disk is used for storing data and interactive sequences, audio and video. DVD-ROMs run

in DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM drives (computers), not DVD-Video players connected to TVs and home

theaters. However, most DVD-ROM drives (computers) will play DVD-Video movies.

DVD-Video

A read-only DVD disc used for movies.

Interactive DVD

Interactive is the back-and-forth dialog between the user and the computer. This allows the user to view

specific items on a menu. Items may include videos, data, quizzes, PowerPoint presentations, audio and still

pictures.

MULTIMEDIA TRAINING MATERIALS
Hidden Hazards – Pipeline Safety in the Mining

Industry (C/MNM)

This item consists of a video and a CD. The video

deals with the hidden hazards associated with buried pipelines on mining property. According to the

U.S. Office of Pipeline Safety, more than two-thirds

of all pipeline accidents occur due to accidental

contact from heavy equipment. The mining industry

alone experienced two fatalities in the year 2000.

Between 1986 and 2002 more than 348 fatalities occurred due to pipeline accidents in general industry.

The accompanying CD includes a PowerPoint presentation – consisting of 51 slides – which can be conducted in approximately 30 to 40 minutes; a handout

of key facts to be provided to class participants; and

an instructor’s guide. (The key facts and instructor’s

guide may be printed from the CD.) The Hidden

Hazards package is an excellent tool to be utilized as

a one-hour scheduled block for surface annual retraining, surface new miner training, supervisor training, safety meetings, or as a supplement to individual

task training. The program can also be utilized for

mining industry contractor training.

MULTIMEDIA TRAINING MATERIALS
TRAP — Take Responsibility for Accident

Prevention

Near-misses are incidents which indicate the presence of a hazard – a “trap,” that is waiting to catch a

miner. Traps come and go in the workplace every

day. Some are simple, such as a cord stretched across

a walkway, while others are more complex such as a

poorly designed set of controls on a mining machine.

In any case, traps are dangerous. “Take Responsibility for Accident Prevention” is a proactive program.

It involves miners, supervisors, managers, and

MSHA in an effort to make the workplace safer for

everyone. The TRAP Program includes four short

courses. The entire program is available on CD.

Accident Reduction Program/Post Accident

Remedies, Technical Support (C/MNM)

This series consists of videos offering ways to prevent accidents before they happen. Technical Support conducts field investigations, laboratory

studies, and analyses to resolve specific problems.

MSHA is developing this video series in an attempt

to help us learn from past accidents. We are providing you with what we are calling “Low Tech” remedies.

The first video consists of five subject areas:

1. New water spray system for continuous

mining machines

2. Safely changing cutting bits on a continuous

miner

3. Using drip pans and safely lubricating

conveyor systems

4. Using safety props for mobile equipment repairs

5. Mechanics taking the vehicle’s keys when

from the operator’s compartment is

not always good. Numerous accidents have occurred

where a miner was struck by or run over by underground mobile equipment. Statements by some of the

equipment operators interviewed include: “I never

saw him/her,” I didn’t know where they were,” and

“By the time I saw him/her, I could not stop.” Wearing reflective clothing will make miners more visible

Lock Out and Tag for Safety

Maintenance workers and electricians in the mining and milling industries are often exposed to “live”

electrical circuits and electric powered machinery and equipment.

They are also exposed to the unexpected and accidental energizing of equipment they can be working

on – unless they correctly deenergize, lock out, and

tag the main power circuit that supplies current to

this equipment. This video describes the proper procedures for performing safe electrical lockout and

testing, and dramatically illustrates what can happen if this isn’t done. Job safety training and following company safety policies are stressed as a

means for preventing such electrical accidents.

Analysis of Underground Powered Haulage

Lost Time Accidents, January 1990 —

December 1999 (C/MNM)

This publication addresses underground powered

haulage lost time accidents that occurred January

1990 through December 1999 involving shuttle cars,

scoops, track-mounted equipment, mobile haulage

equipment, and conveyor belts. Although mining

methods and equipment vary greatly in coal and

metal/nonmetal mining, the similarities of haulage

equipment and the methods of operation are similar;

therefore, the study includes both coal and metal/

nonmetal powered haulage accidents. This report

identifies the major factors that led to these accidents,

and recommends accident prevention methods to reduce the frequency of these accidents.

Coaching Skills for

On-the-Job Trainers

The goal of this program is to help

users to develop or manage an

on-the-job training program so that

information is passed on from the trainer/coach to

trainee efficiently and effectively. By efficient is

meant the best use of time and resources of all involved in the training process. Effective means that

the trainee truly learns the skills and internalizes the

knowledge needed to perform the job well.

The first part of this package discusses topics to

think about when developing formal on-the-job

training programs. A structure based on coaching is

suggested. Then a workshop designed to prepare

trainers to be coaches is described. Workshop materials include an instructor’s guide and trainee’s

workbook. These materials can be used to train

coaches and assist trainees as they go through the

learning process. Content related to specific jobs

can be added to these materials to create targeted

on-the-job training materials.

Degraded Image Hazard Recognition (C)

The goal of this program is to improve the ability of

miners to recognize hazards in their dangerous work

environment, and thereby, to reduce accidents. The

program is based on research conducted by the U.S.

Bureau of Mines (now NIOSH) in conjunction with

the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Eastern Community College. A study has found

that miners trained with this method have shown a

greater improvement in their hazard recognition skill

level as compared to traditional methods.

TRAINING MATERIALS
Miners’ Health Pack, The

The Miners’ Health Pack is a manual on health hazards in mining. It reflects MSHA’s determination to

protect miners from exposure to such well-known

health hazards as silica, carbon monoxide, and noise,

as well as injuries resulting from repetitive work occurring in cramped places and awkward positions.

Through the Health Pack, which is really a series of

fact sheets and resources, MSHA hopes to make basic

scientific, medical, and control technology information

about health hazards in mining understandable to miners and mine operators so that they can take action

to reduce exposures and protect miners. The materials are packaged in a binder so that new training

materials on hazards such as lead, mercury, or diesel

exhaust can be added as they are developed by MSHA

to create a comprehensive manual on health hazards.

Near-misses are incidents

which indicate the presence

of a hazard – a “trap,” that is

waiting to catch a miner.

Traps come and go in the

workplace every day. Some are simple, such as a

cord stretched across a walkway, while others are

more complex such as a poorly designed set of

controls on a mining machine. In any case, traps are

dangerous. “Take Responsibility for Accident

Prevention” is a proactive program. It involves

miners, supervisors, managers, and MSHA in an

effort to make the workplace safer for everyone. The

is advancing the headings of a longwall entry. You

receive a call from the dispatcher reporting smoke

coming out the belt entry from your section 5,000

feet outby your position. The air at the face is clear.

You must decide how to evacuate the section, what

equipment to take with you, gather information

about the location and size of the fire, and determine

if you should fight the fire or leave. The lives of the

eight miners you supervise, the lives of many other

miners in the mine, and the well-being of the mine

depend upon your judgments and actions.

You are the section foreman. After you complete

your methane check at the face of No. 2 entry, you

think you hear someone yelling “Fire!” You run

down No. 2 entry and through the last open crosscut

to No. 3 entry. You see Louie, the section mechanic,

running up No. 3 entry. Louie informs you that there

is a fire along the belt, 2 crosscuts outby the tailpiece.

He also tells you that he has found Ollie lying injured

along the belt just outby the fire. You examine the

situation and determine that Ollie suffered a spinal

injury when he fell while trying to fight the fire. As

the section foreman and only EMT, you must treat

Ollie’s injuries plus direct fire fighting efforts.

Bull’s Double Header: Too Much Unsupported

Roof (C)

You work at a mine that has approval to make 34-

foot cuts using a remote-controlled continuous miner.

The roof bolting machine has broken down. The continuous miner has just been refitted with a new cutting head and bits that cut the coal much faster. The

two roof bolter operators have been having a hard

time keeping up with Bull, the continuous miner operator. At the face of No. 4 entry, Bull makes a

40-foot extended cut, trams back from the face, and

then turns the miner and cuts the left-hand crosscut

all the way through to the No. 3 entry. When the roof

bolter operators discover Bull’s “double header,”

they get the section foreman, and then try to plan a

safe way to bolt this large area of unsupported roof.

Shortly after they complete their assessment and plan

of attack, a large roof fall occurs. Now the face crew

must decide how to safely clean up the fall while advancing roof support.

Cripple Creek Deep Cut (C)

For the past few days you have been sent to 2 South

panel to fill in as the third shuttle car operator. This

morning, however, your buggy is down. The face

boss asks you to get the scoop and take seven or

eight timbers to the No. 5 entry because the last

shift got off sight line. The miner will be working in

entry 5 while the bolter crew pins entry 4. When

you get up to the face you see that Mo, the remote

control continuous miner operator, has rounded off

the left inby corner in order to make his first cuts in

the right hand rib. Now, he has squared around

enough so that you and Red, the miner helper, can

set some posts on the corner. The two of you set

posts along the left inby rib of No. 5 entry while the

shuttle car operator waits. You are in a tight spot

when Mo decides to start mining. You must decide

where the best place is to stand for safety and yet

from an unknown source coming into your section.

You attempt to contact someone to find out where

the smoke is coming from but get no response. You

and your crew start riding out of the section on the

mantrip. When you encounter heavy smoke, you decide to take your crew and travel on foot in the belt

entry which is on a neutral split of air. After traveling about 6 crosscuts in the belt entry, you encounter heavy smoke again, at which time you and your

crew don your SCSRs. After donning the apparatus,

you and your crew continue traveling outby in the

belt entry. Near the mouth of the section, a miner in

the group starts to have trouble breathing from his

SCSR because he is “outbreathing” the device since

his oxygen requirements are greater than the SCSR

can supply. Soon more workers, including yourself,

Injury Rate Problem at Maxmore Mine (C)

Injury rates at Maxmore Mine (an underground coal

mine) have increased to three times the national average

in the last quarter. As education, training, and safety

specialists who develop and approve training plans, the

trainees in your class are asked to examine a summary

of the accidents for Maxmore Mine. The task is to suggest corrective actions to lower the injury rate. Next,

three case studies are presented. Each case study describes attempts by one director of health and safety to

reduce injuries at Maxmore Mine. The trainees are

asked to judge the strengths and limitations of each approach, to decide if the program would be effective, and

whether or not it should be approved. Following discussion of these initial case studies and class members’ responses, the exercise principles are applied to another

case study situation involving injuries to contract workers at surface mines. Finally, a homework assignment

asks the trainees to apply the exercise principles to a

real-world problem of their own choice where improved

Pete’s Predicament: Unsupported Roof (C)

The preshift examination has been completed. The

entire section has been rock dusted. John and Eddy

advance the miner to the face of the No. 3 entry and

begin cutting coal. Pete is standing near the right rib

watching the mining machine to observe its new

water spray system. A shuttle car comes up close to

the right rib. After watching the miner cut coal for

less than a minute, Pete starts to get worried that he

is in danger of being squeezed between the continuous miner and the rib. He steps back around the corner into the right-hand crosscut which is rock

dusted. Then he notices that half the crosscut is unbolted and the top is dribbling small pieces of shale!

Pete cannot escape into the No. 3 entry because the

miner tailboom and shuttle car block this route. He

sees that the far end of the crosscut is bolted. Pete

must decide what to do to escape and to warn Eddy,

John, and the shuttle car operator who are inby an

unbolted crosscut. After Pete and Eddy escape, John

must decide whether to abandon the mining machine and make a run for safety or to stay in the

miner operator compartment under the canopy.

Pit Distribution Troubleshooting (C/MNM)

The surface mine where you work receives its

power from a 138 KV utility line that is stepped

down to 25 KV for pit distribution. Substations

make further reductions to 4,160 volts for operation

of smaller equipment such as drills. The pit electrical distribution system has worked well. Then a

problem develops. Power leaving a portable substation goes through two boxes to a drill. A ground

fault occurred in the system and tripped box A. The

flag was reset and the system held for about a week.

Then the ground monitor trips box B. Within a few

days box A trips two more times. As a mine electrician you must find and correct the electrical

problem so that production and safety can be maintained.

where they are working. Earlier roof falls have

blocked the other escapeways. The top is bad in the

one entry being used for the haul road. The posts

and crossbars that support it at the intersection of a

crosscut begin to sag so much that the shuttle car

you are driving can’t come out from the face. The

foreman yells at you to tell the miners to get out.

But it is too late! As you are about to come out

there is a large roof fall that completely blocks the

one escapeway. You and the other miners are lucky.

During your routine survey work as a transitman,

you observed in recent weeks that an idle section in

been experiencing serious roof problems. One of

the mine engineers stated that the problems were

due to the sudden presence of slips in the roof running in the direction of mining. Several falls and

significant downtime have forced the company to

reconsider the development of 2 North. The general

superintendent informs you and Sammy that the

company will reactivate the idled section beginning

next shift. You are to enter the mine and set sights

in 2 North to re-orient all the entries by 45 degrees

to the east before the regular daylight crew arrives.

You are beginning your work when you notice a

mantrip, and begin riding out of the section in the

alternate (secondary) escapeway. You want to travel

as far as possible on the mantrip since this is the

fastest and easiest way out of the mine. You travel

Vulcan Mine Ignition (C)

You are the on-side shuttle car driver. Just after

lunch you pull across the last open crosscut ready to

go into the No. 4 entry to load coal from the continuous miner. Just as you notice the line is down, an

orange fireball covers up the continuous miner in

the entry, the miner operator, his helper, and the

foreman. After the fireball dies down, through the

white smoke in the entry, you can see one miner

down and the other two walking around by the continuous miner. You must decide what to do.

NOTE: The companion exercise, Vulcan Mine Recovery, continues the problem that is in

this exercise. The two exercises may be

used in sequence or independently.

Vulcan Mine Recovery (C)

You are the mine foreman. When you return from

an errand, you learn there has been a large face ignition in the Vulcan mine. The 001 section crew has

come out of the mine with three injured miners. The

injured miners have been sent to a hospital by ambulance. You must decide what to do to prevent any

further damage or injuries, to report the ignition, to

learn about conditions in the mine, and to safely restore the section and the mine to operation.

NOTE: The companion Vulcan Mine Ignition precedes the problem that is addressed in this

exercise. The two exercises may be used in

sequence or independently. This exercise

has no correct answer feedback. Rather, it

requires the trainee to work completely

through the problem, receiving only the

feedback that would be available in a real

situation. Therefore, the instructor must

display the answer key at the conclusion of

the exercise. Trainees must then check the

accuracy of their responses. Group discussion of the problem should follow.
