TRAINING AND EDUCATION

The Training, Education and Certification Division was established in 1971, with a Federal grant from the Mine Enforcement and Safety Administration now known as the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). The Division continues to be partially funded with a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, MSHA, for continued support of the project entitled “Training and Education of Coal Miners, Non-coal Miners, Operators and Agents”. During the year of 2002, our instructors, who are stationed in six district offices located in the eastern and western coalfields, presented 3108 class sessions and trained 10,835 miners from 2,204 mines. A total of 982 independent contractors were trained from 544 companies. Our instructors offered 30 different subjects and taught 10,926 hours of classroom instruction. In addition, 2,222 hours were spent testing 5,999 miners. Kentucky coal miners can receive some of their required training from independent trainers located throughout Kentucky. In order to help assure that good quality training is provided, the Department of Mines and Minerals deems it necessary to certify all instructors (KRS 351.120). The total number of instructors certified by the Department after passing all phases of the examination as of December 31, 2002, was 707 Underground Mining Instructors, 119 Electrical Instructors, 362 Surface Instructors and 209 MET Instructors. Of the total, 15 Underground Mining Instructors, 4 Electrical Instructors, 22 Surface Mining Instructors and 10 MET Instructors were certified during 2002.

Mine Safety Review Commission

HISTORY: The Mine Safety Review Commission (MSRC) was created by Executive Order on January 19, 2001. The MSRC was created to conduct hearings for the imposition and enforcement of sanctions against licensees, owners and operators of licensed premises whose intentional violation of, or order to violate, mine safety laws places miners in imminent danger of serious injury or death. MEMBERS: The MSRC is comprised of 3 part-time Commissioners, each of whom must meet the qualifications of a Court of Appeals Judge. The members are: Bayard V. Collier, Chairman of Pikeville; Charles M. Tackett of Lexington; and William R. Whitledge of Madisonville. Each of the commissioners have completed the 40-hour new miner training course, as required by law, and are certified by the Attorney General’s office to be administrative hearing officers. Meetings are scheduled on a monthly basis. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS: Tony Oppegard of the Department of Mines and Minerals serves as the prosecutor for the Commission. In 2002 eleven complaints were filed. Nine of these cases have settled, one was consolidated and one will be heard in January, 2004.

MINING BOARD

The Mining Board as provided by House Bill 258, was composed of the following members as of April 10, 2001, appointed by Governor Paul E. Patton: Phillip Johnson Director, Miner Training Dept. of Mines and Minerals William Spears Representing Management Term Expires April 10, 2003 Timothy Miller Representing Labor Term Expires April 10, 2003 Paris Charles Representing Management Term Expires April 10, 2004 Edgar Oldham, Jr. Representing Labor Term Expires April 10, 2004 Ben Spears Representing Management Term Expires April 10, 2005 William Chapman Representing Labor Term Expires April 10, 2005 Kenneth Fee, Chairman Representing Citizen Members Term Expires April 10, 2005 The Mining Board was reorganized in April 2001 an as independent agency. The responsibilities of the board involve mine licenses, miner’s certificates, the investigation of mine safety violations and to establish criteria for the board to impose sanctions for these violations. The board approves certifications All examinations for certification as Mine Foreman, Assistant Mine Foreman, Surface Mine Foreman, (both extraction and post extraction) Underground Mining Instructor, Surface Mining Instructor, Electrical Instructor, Surface Mine Safety Analyst and Mine Inspector are considered for certification and board members sign grade sheets as proof of their approval. The Director of the Miner Training reports to the board for a vote concerning anyone requesting approval of a new miner-training program. The Chief Accident Investigator reports to the board concerning any other investigation that would be within the board’s jurisdiction. The board reviews KRS chapters 351 and 352 and can make recommendations regarding the amendment of those chapters. The board considers and must approve all new administrative regulations or revisions to existing administrative regulations concerning coal mining regulations before the actual administrative regulation is promulgated by KDMM. However, to expedite the process, the department may file a “notice of intent to promulgate an administrative regulation” without Mining Board approval. A list of those who successfully completed the required examination for foreman and inspector

is shown on the following pages.

Franklin Reed, Director MINE SAFETY ANALYSIS DIVISION

• Lisa Franklin, Internal Policy Analyst II • Ann Young, Executive Secretary The Mine Safety Analysis Division has 26 field personnel under the direct supervision of their respective district supervisor. The primary responsibility of the safety analyst is to prevent underground mine accidents and fatalities by observing and evaluating the work habits of persons involved in the direct production of coal and to contact, advise, and assist these persons on a one-to-one basis, correcting their unsafe or potentially hazardous actions. In 2002, they caused 3,124 unsafe actions or conditions to be corrected. The program has served the industry well as evidenced by the decrease of underground and surface fatalities since its inception. There were six underground mining fatalities and one fatality at surface operations during 2002. The goals of the Mine Safety Analysis program are to further reduce mining accidents by promoting and

maintaining safety standards in the Commonwealth's coal mines thus preserving the mining industry's most valuable resource, The Miner.
