CMN 2607 — Mine Accident Prevention
This course is designed to reduce the frequency and severity of mining accidents by making the trainee’s more aware of causes, both direct and indirect. Trainees will study accident types, records and investigation procedures to become more aware of the influences of individuals and habits upon accidents. The content will include a review of all accidents and causes with instruction in prevention of these accidents in the work environment. This course may vary from company to company to comply with specific training plans and to meet current needs of the various locations. The content of this course is based on the most frequent and severe accident occurrences: MSHA (48.8) (77.1708) which requires all employees to participate in accident prevention programs a minimum of once a year. This course is repeatable because Title 30, CFR, and program policies are rewritten, promulgated, amended, updated, and/or modified regularly and miners must be apprised of all health and safety changes. This course may be team taught with mine personnel. Lecture. Variable. Repeatable 9 times.
