This section of the catalog lists all available multimedia training material.

DVDs (Digital Versatile Disc) 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. 

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

VHS format is no longer available.

Coal Firing Safety (MNM)

Explosions in coal-fired processes represent a 

significant injury risk to personnel, and can result 

in costly equipment repairs and extensive process downtime. This photo-illustrated PowerPoint 

presentation on CD presents an in-depth look at 

coal handling, pulverization and firing equipment, 

and the engineering, operational, maintenance 

and process control issues that affect safety. It 

explains the factors that influence coal explosivity, describes explosion prevention and protection 

stategies, and discusses best design and operating practices. It includes 19 case studies of coal 

firing accidents in the portland cement, lime, and 

lightweight aggregate industries, discusses the 

root causes, and lists the actions recommended 

to prevent recurrence. It is valuable for training 

operations, maintenance, engineering and safety 

personnel, and can be used as is or customized 

for specific companies or facilities. Speaker notes 

are provided for most of the 154 slides.

Hidden Hazards – Pipeline Safety 

in the Mining Industry (C/MNM)

This CD 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 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.

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.

•	 Safely changing cutting bits on a continuous miner

•	 Using drip pans and safely lubricating conveyor systems

•	 Using safety props for mobile equipment 

repairs

•	 Mechanics taking the vehicle’s keys when

“Choice Is Yours, The” – 

Reflective Clothing

Visibility from the operator’s compartment of large 

equipment 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 and allow them 

to be seen. You must dress for work every day, so 

why not use reflective clothing? It takes no extra

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.

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

Handbook (C/MNM)

Dumping material from trucks is a common practice in the mining industry. No matter what type

can occur if certain precautions are not taken. The 

intent of this handbook is to provide MSHA inspection staff with the information needed to understand the hazards at dump points, and to better 

recognize potentially unsafe dump point conditions and practices. In addition, the handbook can 

assist inspectors in sharing information on dumppoint safety with miners and mine operators.

two-thirds of all pipeline accidents occur due to 

accidental contact from heavy equipment. The 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

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.

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.
