who

can reasonably be expected to be exposed to diesel emissions on that 
property. The training must include--
    (1) The health risks associated with exposure to diesel particulate 
matter;
    (2) The methods used in the mine to control diesel particulate 
matter concentrations;
    (3) Identification of the personnel responsible for maintaining 
those controls; and
    (4) Actions miners must take to ensure the controls operate as 
intended.
    (b)(1) An operator must keep a record of the training at the mine 
site for one year after completion of the training. An operator may keep 
the record elsewhere if the record is immediately accessible from the 
mine site by electronic transmission.
    (2) Upon request from an authorized representative of the Secretary 
of Labor, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, or from the 
authorized representative of miners, mine operators must promptly 
provide access to any such training record. Whenever an operator ceases 
to do business, that operator must transfer the training records, or a 
copy, to any successor operator who must maintain them for the required 
period.
