  William Ford, CEMT chairman and senior vice president of NSA, Washington, D.C., says that the combined effort was to produce a training proposal consistent with the Mine Act and more applicable to the industry."The preparation of this training document represents unprecedented collaboration between industry and labor," says Ford."The existing regulations found in the Mine Act simply do not provide our industries with the right training framework they need to maintain the current downward trend in accidents and injuries," continues Ford."Our industries want the regulations that will assist in that effort.We believe the proposal that has resulted from this comprehensive process will contribute to increased safety of our workers."The proposed safety training regulations include site-specific safety plans to improve safety performance at every mine and the use of modern technological training aids.More specifically, the training proposal provides definitions of safety-related terms and specific instructions as to what kind of training is required.For example, each mine operator must provide no less than 24 hours of training for a new miner, including explanations of miners' statutory rights, use of self-rescue and respiratory devices, hazard recognition, emergency procedures, electrical hazards, first aid, walk-around training, and the health and safety aspects of each miner's assigned tasks.Regulations are also outlined for refresher training, contractor training, and training certification and recordkeeping.

Regulations are also outlined for refresher training, contractor training, and training certification and recordkeeping."Each aggregate producer will have to review his or her training programs and make modifications to meet the new regulation," says Meininger.MSHA will now use this safety training proposal as the basis of a notice of proposed rule-making, and will publish a final safety training rule by Sept. 30, 1999. Assuming the final MSHA rule is similarly appropriate to the aggregate-mining industry, the rider would later be removed.
