Experienced Miner and Supervisor Training

This final rule revises MSHA's training regulations to update and upgrade certain provisions. Specifically, these revisions require essential health and safety training for certain supervisors; eliminate new miner training for experienced miners; and promote flexibility in experienced miner training to meet the specific needs of the miner and the operator. This final rule will enhance safety and health by providing effective training of miners and, thus, reducing accidents, injuries, and illnesses.
