Let's face it, training videos can be a real snooze fest. I've seen so many - some have been for my actual jobs, and the others I've seen because I review industrial safety products.
What I like about the Convergence series is that they don't go the weird background music route, and they have decided to do most of their videos using a relatively advanced computer generated images (CGI) for training video producers.
What you end up with is specific, accurate miner training information that will help your operation gain MSHA compliance, particularly Title 30 CFR - Part 46 regulations.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor, and with help from the CDC's NIOSH studies and recommendations, the MSHA regulates mining operations in order to maintain a nationally-consistent level of safe working environments for mining employees, contractors, and other staff.
This particular DVD set covers the basics of surface mining, and will give your new employees MSHA compliant knowledge in a relative short amount of time. It's also great as a refresher course for more experienced miners who maybe need to get some more hours of required training time in.
Everything is very clear and these modules give "no-nonsense" explanations of each aspect of basic surface mining procedures, from proper use of mining equipment, emergency training, to PPE use. The narration is clear, concise, and the graphics are easy to understand and won't bore your employees to tears.
That's the whole point!
