Sec.  46.11  Site-specific hazard awareness training.



    (a) You must provide site-specific hazard awareness training before 

any person specified under this section is exposed to mine hazards.

    (b) You must provide site-specific hazard awareness training, as 

appropriate, to any person who is not a miner as defined by Sec.  46.2 

of this part but is present at a mine site, including:

    (1) Office or staff personnel;

    (2) Scientific workers;

    (3) Delivery workers;

    (4) Customers, including commercial over-the-road truck drivers;

    (5) Construction workers or employees of independent contractors who 

are not miners under Sec.  46.2 of this part;

    (6) Maintenance or service workers who do not work at the mine site 

for frequent or extended periods; and

    (7) Vendors or visitors.

    (c) You must provide 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 with site-specific hazard 

awareness training for each mine.

    (d) Site-specific hazard awareness training is information or 

instructions on the hazards a person could be exposed to while at the 

mine, as well as applicable emergency procedures. The training must 

address site-specific health and safety risks, such as unique geologic 

or environmental conditions, recognition and avoidance of hazards such 

as electrical and powered-haulage hazards, traffic patterns and control, 

and restricted areas; and warning and evacuation signals, evacuation and 

emergency procedures, or other special safety procedures.

    (e) You may provide site-specific hazard awareness training through 

the use of written hazard warnings, oral instruction, signs and posted 

warnings, walkaround training, or other appropriate means that alert 

persons to site-specific hazards at the mine.

    (f) 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 site.
