Courtesy Assistance Visit |

The Texas Mine Safety and Health Program (TMSHP) is now conducting Compliance Assistance Visits (CAV) at the request of the mine operator. The primary purpose for such a visit is so that the mine operator will be better informed of unsafe conditions/behaviors that could be immediately corrected. Upon request, a TMSHP trainer, possibly accompanied by another TMSHP contract trainer, will schedule a CAV visit. For a brief start-up period, there will be no cost to the mine or mine operator for a CAV. The TMSHP contract trainers will not be liable for issues discussed in conjunction with the CAV. At no time will any of the information revealed during the CAV be transpired to anyone other than those involved in the CAV, being only the trainers and the mine personnel where the CAV is taking place. All feedback will be oral. There will be no written documents by the TMSHP trainer; however, the mine representative will be urged to write down the TMSHP trainer's findings/recommendations for future actions. The following topics will be explored but the scope of a CAV will vary to accommodate each mine specifically: |
|||
| 1. Miscellaneous iron installations (guards, walkways,
stairways, etc.); 2. Equipment with moving parts (conveyor belts, crushers, screens, etc.); 3. Mobile equipment (trucks, loaders, etc.); 4. Proposed plans and designs; 5. Planned training; and, 6. Other areas as appropriate |
|||
| CAV's are on a first come first served basis and mine operators. Since state grant funds are being used to subsidize this effort, mines are encouraged to request a CAV in combination with their annual refresher or new-miner training. The TMSHP trainers will do their best to identify safety violations related to the mine's operation; however, the CAV in no way exempts the mine site from receiving a citation for any safety violation, whether or not they were discussed during a CAV. | |||
