  1. TASK TRAINING

  2. TASK TRAINING • Inadequate task training causes accidents and fatalities. • Task training is an important element of a TRAP program. • Task training is required by law.

  3. July 1999 A maintenance man was fatally injured when he was run over by a skid-steer loaderbeing operated by a summer employee.

  4. The maintenance man was directing the operator to clean up spillage. He turned to walk away from the loader, then turned and walked back toward the loader which was moving forward. The victim stepped behind a column, causing the eyewitness to momentarily lose sight of him. July 1999

  5. The witness then saw the victim being pulled down under the rear tire of the loader. A 104(g)(1) order was issued because the mine operator failed to properly task train an employee on the safe operating procedures applicable to a new piece of equipment. July 1999

  6. June 1999 A truck driver was fatally injured when he lost control of his loaded haul truck while traveling down a haul road constructed on an 18 percent grade.

  7. The truck driver was either thrown or jumped from the truck and received fatal injuries upon hitting the ground. This was the victim’s first day of employment at this mine site. This was his first trip on the haul road with this particular vehicle. A citation was issued for not providing task training. June 1999

  8. August 1998 Two shift managers and three workers were repairing a leak around a plug in a water line. One of the shift managers was killed when the plug they were inflating ruptured.

  9. August 1998 • None of them had ever performed the task before. • An order was issued for the 2 shift managers and 3 workers not being trained to perform this task.

  10. April 1998 A crusher operator was fatally injured when he was struck in the face by a hammerhead while attempting to free a hang-up in the jaw crusher.

  11. April 1998 • This was the victim’s first day on the job. • The investigation concluded that the company failed to indoctrinate the victim in safety rules and safe work procedures.

  12. October 1997 An electrician was transporting a 23,300-pound swing motor down a 14% grade on a flatbed truck.

  13. October 1997 • The 3/8-inch chain securing the motor broke and forced a guard into the truck cab. • The driver was crushed against the steering wheel.

  14. October 1997 • The two electricians who loaded the motor had requested crane training, which included rigging instructions. • They did not receive the training. • A 104(d)(1) citation was issued for task training.

  15. February 1997 A truck driver received fatal crushing injuries while working under the boom of a crane.

  16. February 1997 • The victim and the crane operator were dismantling the boom before moving the crane to the shop. • The victim positioned himself under the boom to remove the bottom connecting pins from the first section of the boom mast.

  17. February 1997 • The boom was slightly elevated with only one crib block under the first section of the boom. • The victim was crushed between the first section of the boom and the ground when the boom buckled downward after the second bottom pin was removed.

  18. February 1997 • A 104(d)(1) citation was issued stating that the victim was not instructed in the safety and health aspects and safe work procedures of the task of dismantling the boom.

  19. What Traps Should Task Training Cover? • Environmental Traps • Equipment Traps • Procedural Traps

  20. Environmental Traps Show trainees the dangers of the areas they are working in. • How steep is the hill? • What are the traffic patterns? • What are the road conditions? • How bad are the roof/ground conditions? • How does the working height of the mine affect the performance of the job?

  21. Environmental Traps • How do weather conditions affect the work place? • What health hazards are found in the environment? • What are some other environmental traps?

  22. Equipment Traps Train miners on new or modified equipment. • How do habits affect the actions of operators? • How does the size or type of equipment affect the operators ability to see? • How should an operator position equipment when performing a task?

  23. Equipment Traps • What is the procedure for reporting and repairing defects? • What are some other equipment traps?

  24. Procedural Traps Show trainees the safe way of performing the task. • What hazards are associated with each step of the task? • When doing maintenance work, what safety precautions should be taken?

  25. Procedural Traps Show trainees the proper way to position themselves when performing a task. • Which direction should miners face when shoveling the belt? • Where should operators of remote-controlled equipment position themselves? • Where should miners avoid being when working around mobile equipment?

  26. AVOID TASK TRAPS! Task train on: Environment Equipment Procedures

  27. How do you prepare for task training? • Select someone to do the training who is qualified or experienced in the task. • Provide written instructions as supporting material for the training.

  28. How do you prepare for task training? • A job safety analysis (JSA) provides a very strong foundation for task training. • The JSA concept is simple: • Select a task to be analyzed. • Separate the task into its basic steps. • Identify hazards associated with each step. • Control each hazard.

  29. What does the law require? Task training is required by: • 30 CFR 48 • 30 CFR 46

  30. What does Part 48 require? • 30 CFR 48.7 requires task training for all miners in underground mines. • 30 CFR 48.27 requires task training for all miners at surface mines and surface areas of underground mines.

  31. Who is required to be task trained? (48.7 and 48.27) • Miners assigned to new work tasks as: • mobile equipment operators, • drilling machine operators, • haulage and conveyor system operators, • roof and ground control machine operators, and • those involved in blasting operations

  32. Who is required to be task trained? (48.7 and 48.27) • Miners assigned to new work tasks not described in the previous paragraph must be instructed in the health and safety aspects and safe work procedures of the task. • Miners who have not performed a job or task for more than 12 months must be task trained.

  33. Who is required to be task trained? (48.7 and 48.27) • Miners assigned to operate new or modified equipment or machines must be trained in safe operating procedures • Any miner who directs or controls haulage operations must receive training in • safe haulage procedures related to the haulage system, ventilation system, firefighting procedures, and evacuation procedures.

  34. What is required in task training? (48.7 and 48.27) • Health and safety aspects and safe operating procedures for work tasks, equipment and machinery • Supervised practice during nonproduction • Supervised operation during production • Safe operating procedures for new or modified machines and equipment • Any other training required by the MSHA

  35. What qualifications must the trainer have? • Under 48.7 and 48.27, the person must be: • a qualified trainer, • a supervisor experienced in the assigned task, or • other person experienced in the assigned task

  37. How long must records be kept for task training? (48.9 & 48.29) • A copy of the training certificates of currently employed miners must be kept on file at the mine office for two years. • A copy of the training certificates of terminated miners must be kept on file at the mine office for 60 days after the termination.

  38. What does Part 46 require? • 30 CFR 46.7 requires task training for all miners engaged in shell dredging or employed at sand, gravel, surface stone, surface clay, colloidal phosphate, or surface limestone mines.

  40. Who is required to be task trained? (46.7) • Miners assigned a new work task must be instructed in the health and safety aspects and safe work procedures of the task. • If a change occurs in a miner’s assigned task that affects safety and health, then the miner must be instructed in the health and safety aspects and safe work procedures of the task.

  41. What records are required for task training? (46.9) • A certificate of training form, MSHA 5000-23 must be completed for each task training. • Another form may be substituted for the MSHA 5000-23 form if it contains the information itemized in 46.9(b)

  42. What records are required for task training? (46.9) • A copy of the training certificates must be given to the miner at least once every 12 months or upon request by the miner. • A copy of the training certificates of currently employed miners must be filed at the mine office during their employment (or for two years in the case of annual refresher training).
