Topic

Best Practices and Challenges of Multi-Operator MSHA Sites

Description

Working with independent contractors at your mine site is a common occurrence, but not always an easy one. Contractors are essential to the mining industry and will continue to be a constant at the nation’s mines in perpetuity, but as constant as contractors are so are the questions surrounding their presence. Many operators rely on contractors to tell them if a contractor’s employees will qualify as miners for training purposes and assume the contractor is well-versed in MSHA regulations and training expectations. While many contractors satisfy these requirements without issue, operators need to be prepared to make the appropriate inquiries and evaluations when bringing a contractor on-site.

This webinar will cover strategies for both mine operators and independent contractors to streamline the onboarding and selection process, and also help facilitate a productive relationship while contractors are on-site.

During this webinar, participants will learn about:

• The threshold for when contractors are required to provide comprehensive miner training to its employees and which company is responsible for this
• Best practices for mine operators and contractors to work together and delineate responsibility at the mine
• Mine operator and contractor liabilities during MSHA inspections and investigations
