Public: Health and Safety <br />1. All miners would receive mandatory 40-hour MSHA safety training and annual 8- <br />hour refresher training. <br />2. The Operator would have daily safety meetings and each worker fills out a safety <br />card each shift identifying any hazards noted in the individual's work area to be <br />addressed by the Operator. <br />3. Routine safety inspections would be conducted to check the work area for such <br />hazards as loose roofs, dangerous gases, and inadequate ventilation. <br />4. Waste rock piles from mining would be wetted to control dust. <br />5. Water and, if necessary, surfactants would be used inside the mine workings to <br />control dust from vehicular traffic, and all underground drilling activities use <br />water so that dust from drilling is minimized. <br />6. Split-set roof bolts would be installed at a specified spacing to prevent roof cave- <br />ins, the biggest cause of mining injuries. Brattice builders would construct doors, <br />walls, and partitions in tunnel passageways to force air into the work areas. Shift <br />bosses would oversee all operations at the worksite. <br />7. Gamma surveys would be conducted in the working areas of the mine to ensure <br />that workers are protected from external radiation. <br />• <br />8. Radon. within the mine would be measured in accordance with regulations at 43 • <br />CFR, Part 57, to ensure worker safety and to control worker exposure to radon <br />and its daughter products. Radon measurements would be used to adjust mine <br />ventilation and the working environment as necessary to ensure that worker <br />exposures do not exceed the annual dose limit for radon and to maintain <br />exposures as low as is reasonably achievable. <br />9. Gamma surveys would be conducted accordance with regulations at 43 CFR, Part <br />57 within the working areas of the mines in order to monitor the potential external <br />radiation exposure of mine workers. These surveys would provide necessary <br />information to determine (1) time and distance restrictions, if necessary, within <br />particular areas of the mines and (2) the need for personal radiation detection <br />monitoring. <br />10. General worker safety would be ensured through routine observation of worker <br />behaviors and working areas within the mines and the presence of safety <br />personnel to ensure that MSHA safety requirements are met. In addition, frequent <br />and regularly scheduled safety meetings would be conducted to ensure a very high <br />level of safety training and awareness by mine workers. Such training and <br />indoctrination would be mandatory. <br />11. Mine ventilation systems would be monitored and modified as needed to ensure <br />that releases of radon are in compliance with the requirements of EPA's NESHAP <br />program and that potential exposure of the public would be maintained below 10 <br />mrem/year a the nearest receptor. <br />I <br />'0 <br />A-8
