01 / How the year runs
Fifteen minutes a week, documented, all year
01
Order the year for your crew
Tell us the mine, the part, and how many miners sign the roster. We set the year up and send talk one.
02
Run one talk a week
Each talk is written to finish inside fifteen minutes: the hazard, the standard behind it, and what to do about it.
03
Sign the sheet
The leader marks who was in the room and files the sheet. Fifteen minutes goes against that subject for that miner.
04
We issue the certificate
When the year closes, every miner on the roster gets a certificate for the hours documented. Twenty dollars a certificate.
02 / How the talks think
Six values, four traps, every week
Each talk is pinned to one core value and one of the four human-performance traps that cause most mine injuries — not the machine, the person working around it. Fifteen minutes on the trap is what makes the standard stick.
Core values
Safety
No job on this ground is worth a hand, a lung, or a life.
Integrity
Do the step when nobody is watching, and write the record straight.
Community
We work as a crew. The buddy is the control that catches what one person misses.
Helpfulness
Stop for the man who is behind, struggling, or brand new.
Communication
Say what you see, out loud, to a named person, while it still matters.
Speaking up
Report the hazard the first time — including the one you caused.
The four traps
Rushing
Time pressure quietly removes the step that mattered.
Frustration
A blocked job turns the wrong tool into the fast tool.
Fatigue
Judgment and reaction degrade before the person can feel it.
Complacency
The familiar task stops being looked at.
02 / The 52 talks
One full year of subjects, in order
Twelve themes, one talk a week. Fifty-two talks at fifteen minutes each add up to 13 documented hours, against the 8 hours the annual refresher asks for. The margin is there on purpose: skip a talk that does not fit your ground and put your own hazard in its place.
Every talk carries the human-performance side too: the trap that puts a good miner in front of the hazard, the countermeasure that beats it, and the core value to hold — safety, integrity, community, helpfulness, communication, or speaking up.

03 / Documentation
The paper is the point
A talk nobody wrote down did not happen. Each week's fifteen minutes lands in a record on that miner's file, and the year closes with a certificate that carries the hours. Every field 46.9 asks for is on the sheet.
On every sign-in sheet
- Name of the miner trained
- Date of the talk
- Subject of the talk and the minutes delivered
- Name of the person who led it
What you get at the end of the year
- Fifty-two sign-in sheets, one per talk
- A per-miner attendance matrix with hours to date
- The year’s subject list, numbered 1 to 52
- A certificate register for the inspector

05 / Filing the year
Filing the sheets is its own step
Requesting the materials and filing the finished year are separate jobs, so they live in separate places. Ask for the pack when your year starts; come back here to file the signed sheets as they come in.
- Enter the miner’s name, then attach the signed sheet for each talk as the year runs.
- Every sheet is dated and filed against that subject on that miner’s record.
- When the year closes, the person in charge of safety and health certifies the Part 46 form.
No access code needed to file — the sheets go against the miner's name.
End-of-year upload center
One miner at a time: the name, the talk, and the signed sheet that proves the fifteen minutes.
Upload center · signed sheets by employee
PDF or a photo of the sheet, stored privately. Enter the miner's name first so the sheet files under them.
