Summary
A regional system of mine safety and health enforcement works effectively in the Federal Republic of Germany. This report discusses some salient features of the regional mining enforcement system in the Federal Republic of Germany and the interactions between the regional mine enforcement and operator-funded institutions that provide technical support and miner training. Mining enforcement is regionalized into five independent regions. Each region has technical, research, and education and training services to support the enforcement. Technical services to assist operators in complying with the regulations are provided both by the inspectorate and the operator-funded mining research and testing centers located in each region. Mine safety and health and miner training plans are submitted by operators to meet the requirements of the regulations and are reviewed and approved by the regional inspectorate. The plans play a pivotal role in ensuring that the safety and health of mines and the quality of coal miner training meets the standards required by law. German coal miners undergo elaborate training programs to qualify for technical work positions and for upward mobility within the coal mining industry. The general layout and approach of the German miner training system results in miners undergoing extensive training on a broad range of subject areas that have direct and indirect impact on their occupation. The training regulations and training plans identify separate procedures for training new miners, foreign immigrants, inexperienced miners, experienced miners with over 6-months interruption on their regular jobs and young miners. The German training system places special emphasis to train young miners below 18 years of age.
