Mine Operator,
Training for new employees, refresher training, and new task training can mean the difference between life and death for workers.
Part 46 spells out how you can develop a training program to protect workers for on-the-job hazards. Together, labor, industry and the U.S. Department of Labor reached a milestone with the development and publication of Part 46. We want to continue working together toward the next milestone, October 2000, when the regulations take effect.
We want to make sure you have all the information you need about these new training requirements. Throughout the next 12 months, MSHA personnel will be holding regional meetings across the country, delivering information and sample training plans to your operation, and offering you help to develop your plan. If you are among the many operators who are already providing training to your workers, keep up the good work. The rule will tell you exactly what is expected. If you currently have no training program, we can help you develop one.
This brochure highlights the main provisions of the rule. It is designed to introduce the rule to you. More detailed materials will be delivered to you. If you wan information right away, simply call us, e-mail us, or fill out the enclosed coupon. We also welcome your comments, suggestions and success stories.
Part 46 will be successful and beneficial to miners through our combined efforts. Together, we can make our mines safe and healthier for everyone.
