Developing a Training Plan
Your plan may be in any format, so long as it includes all the required information and
describes how the miners will be trained. Training plans can be hand-written, typed, or
generated on a computer. Also, we will have available on our website (www.msha.gov) a
program that will electronically walk you through the steps of developing a training plan.
You can use whatever format works best for your operation.
The sample forms in this section are strictly optional. We are making them available as
just one way you might put together your training plan. You may decide to use the entire
sample plan or you might select certain sections to enhance the program you already have
in place.

Instructions
This sample training plan covers all the required topics under part 46. If you complete
these materials thoughtfully with regard to your own operation, you will have an approved
training plan. Space is provided for each of the required subjects. We have also provided
options for teaching methods, course materials and evaluation procedures, and a place to
list your estimated teaching time for each subject so that you can customize the plan to
meet your specific needs. If additional pages are needed for other subjects or tasks, you
may make copies from this package. You may use the entire sample plan or selected
portions. If the information you provide is complete and correct, you will be in compliance
with the plan requirements for part 46.
If you need assistance completing the training plan, you may contact Educational Field
Services (see list of educational field services contacts in this starter kit), MSHA District
Offices, or an MSHA State Grants Program (see list of grantees in this starter kit).

methods include:
`
`

`
`
`
`
`

Lecture

Discussion (normally used with other methods)

Audiovisual

Demonstration (often used when teaching skills)

Site tour (walk around tours of the work environment)

Computer

Games (good for annual refresher and for evaluations)

Practice (used when teaching and evaluating skills)

Course Training Materials

Indicate the materials that will be used for each subject. Some places where you can get
training materials include:

Hazard Awareness Training Program (Section 46.11)

Date: _ _ / _ _ / _ _

Site-specific hazard awareness training must be given before any person specified under this
section is exposed to mine hazards [Section 46.11(a)].
This training must be given to any person who is not a miner as defined by Section 46.2 but is
present at the mine site. Such persons may include, but are not limited to, office personnel,
delivery workers, and customers [Section 46.11(b)]. This training must also be provided to
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 [Section 46.11(c)].
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 [Section
46.11(f)].
The production-operator has primary responsibility for ensuring that hazard awareness training is
given to employees of independent contractors who are required to receive that training. The
production-operator must provide information to each independent contractor who employs a
person at the mine on site-specific mine hazards [Section 46.12(a)]. Also, the independent
contractor must inform the production-operator of any hazards they may create while working at
the mine [Section 46.12(b)(2)].
Each independent contractor who employs a miner (as defined in Section 46.2) at the mine has
primary responsibility for providing new miner training, newly-hired experienced miner training,
new task training, and annual refresher training. Independent contractors will inform the
production-operator of any hazards contractors may create by the performance of their work at
the mine [Section 46.12(b)].

Hazard Awareness Training Program

A. Training must address site-specific health and safety risks. The training will include
the following subjects or other special safety procedures, where appropriate [Section
46.11(d)].
Independent contractors who will be receiving hazard awareness training from the productionoperator and will not need to provide this training to their own employees or employees of other
independent contractors are not required to complete this part of the training plan.
