MSHA
Newly hired experienced miner training
Experience elsewhere does not remove the need to address the new mine's hazards and procedures.

Verify experience and local instruction
Confirm the miner's experience and provide the instruction applicable to a newly hired experienced miner at this mine. The operation's hazards, emergency procedures, reporting and task assignments should be addressed before independent work as required by the rule.
Keep status and evidence separate
A profile status such as experienced miner is useful for scheduling, but it cannot substitute for signed and certified completion evidence. Show the source document and the specific mine where the training occurred.
In practice
A driver arriving from a different sand pit may be experienced yet still need instruction for this pit's haul roads and traffic pattern.
