Sec. 46.7  New task training.

    (a) You must provide any miner who is reassigned to a new task in 
which he or she has no previous work experience with training in the 
health and safety aspects and safe work procedures specific to that new 
task. This training must be provided before the miner performs the new 
task.
    (b) If a change occurs in a miner's assigned task that affects the 
health and safety risks encountered by the miner, you must provide the 
miner with training under paragraph (a) of this section that addresses 
the change.
    (c) You are not required to provide new task training under 
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section to miners who have received 
training in a similar task or who have previous work experience in the 
task, and who can demonstrate the necessary skills to perform the task 
in a safe and healthful manner. To determine whether task training under 
this section is required, you must observe that the miner can perform 
the task in a safe and healthful manner.
    (d) Practice under the close observation of a competent person may 
be used to fulfill the requirement for task training under this section, 
if hazard recognition training specific to the assigned task is given 
before the miner performs the task.
