Title: First-Aid at Metal and Nonmetal Mines
Abstract: Existing standards for metal and nonmetal mines require that selected supervisors be trained in first aid and that first-aid training be made available to all interested persons. The intent of this standard was to ensure that, in the event of an emergency, a person competent to administer first aid was available at the mine site during each working shift. MSHA recognizes that there are persons highly trained and competent to administer first aid other than supervisors; yet, the standard, as written, does not allow the mine operator this flexibility. MSHA, therefore, is developing a proposed rule to revise this standard to remove the requirement that selected supervisors have to be trained in first aid, and to substitute the requirement that a person trained and capable of administering first aid be available at the mine on all shifts. This proposal would be consistent with a petition for rulemaking submitted to the Secretary by a large segment of the mining industry. A public hearing is requested.
