    (6) Maintenance or service workers who do not work at the mine site 
for frequent or extended periods; and
    (7) Vendors or visitors.
    (c) You must provide miners, such as drillers or blasters, who move

awareness training for each mine.
    (d) Site-specific hazard awareness training is information or 
instructions on the hazards a person could be exposed to while at the 
mine, as well as applicable emergency procedures. The training must 
address site-specific health and safety risks, such as unique geologic 
or environmental conditions, recognition and avoidance of hazards such 
as electrical and powered-haulage hazards, traffic patterns and control, 
and restricted areas; and warning and evacuation signals, evacuation and 
emergency procedures, or other special safety procedures.
    (e) You may provide site-specific hazard awareness training through 
the use of written hazard warnings, oral instruction, signs and posted 
warnings, walkaround training, or other appropriate means that alert 
persons to site-specific hazards at the mine.
    (f) Site-specific hazard awareness training is not required for any 
person who is accompanied at all times by an experienced miner who is 
familiar with hazards specific to the mine site.
