🦺 MVTR Rules 9–11 — Refresher Training Arrangements
Annual refresher planning, gassy-mine coverage and convenient scheduling for trainees 🔁
Rules 9–11 require organised refresher training: yearly phased coverage so at least one-fifth of staff receive training before each year-end, mandatory gassy-mine refresher within one year, and flexible timing (before/after shifts) for trainees.
🔁 Rule 9 — Annual refresher for existing staff
All persons employed at the commencement of this rule must undergo refresher training as per Rule 8. To comply, at least one-fifth of staff must be trained before each yearly anniversary (phased approach).
🔥 Rule 10 — Gassy-mine refresher within one year
Every person employed belowground in a gassy mine shall, within one year of the rule’s commencement, complete the additional gassy-mine refresher training specified under the Fourth Schedule ("Additional for gassy mine workers").
🗓️ Rule 11 — Convenient scheduling for trainees
Refresher training must be arranged so employees can attend conveniently — either before or after normal working hours to reduce operational disruption and maximise participation.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- 📆 Phased annual plan — train ≥ 1/5 staff each year for full coverage.
- 🔥 Gassy-mine staff must finish extra refresher within 1 year.
- ⏰ Schedule training before/after shifts for trainee convenience.
🛠 Practical tip: Use training rosters, shift-friendly slots and attendance logs to ensure smooth annual compliance and easy DGMS verification.
