Mining is an industry that has been around since the industrial revolution, and despite many advances in technology, it remains a dangerous, dirty job. For those brave enough to travel down into mines in search of natural resources, there are some very important safety measures to refer to over and over again to make sure that every precaution has been taken. Below, you\u2019ll find a list of training topics that are required for most Miners.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Confined Spaces <\/strong>\nOSHA Regulation: 1910.146(g)<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n Confined space training is required for authorized entrants, attendants, and entry supervisors. Essentially this includes anyone who works in a confined space as well as the attendant. See full OSHA regulation<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n OSHA does not specifically require training. However annual retraining is an industry best practice.<\/p>\n Hearing Protection <\/strong>\nOSHA Regulation: 1910.95(k)<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n Employees that are exposed to noise at or above an 8-hour time weighted average of 85 decibels. See full OSHA regulation<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n Annually.<\/p>\n Emergency Evacuation <\/strong>\nOSHA Regulation: 1910.38(e)<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n If fire extinguishers are provided in your workplace and\/or anyone will be evacuating during a fire or other emergency. See full OSHA regulation<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n When there is a change.<\/p>\n First Aid<\/strong>\nOSHA Regulation: 1910.266 App B<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n In the absence of a nearby hospital or clinic (more than 4 minutes away), a designated employee should be trained to render first aid. See full OSHA regulation<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n Retraining for life threatening emergencies should occur annually. Retraining for non-life-threatening response should occur ‘periodically’.<\/p>\n Personal Protective and Respiratory Equipment<\/strong>\nOSHA Regulation: 1910.132(f)<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n When an employee is required to wear PPE, they must be trained on its usage. See full OSHA regulation<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n Retraining required when the type of PPE changes, employee demonstrates inability to use PPE properly, or when the workplace changes in a way that renders previous training obsolete.<\/p>\n Workplace Violence<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n Annually<\/p>\n Ergonomics<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n Annually<\/p>\n Eye Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n Annually<\/p>\n Hand, Wrist and Finger<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n Annually<\/p>\n Slips, Trips and Falls<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n Annually<\/p>\n CPR & AED<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\nOSHA Required Training<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
