This may be by written exam, oral exam, demonstration, or other means specified by the AHJ.4.12.1 Position task books (PTB), or equivalent documentation that validates and verifies the completion of all required areas of training, may be used to meet this requirement.4.12.2 If position task books are used they shall comply with the provisions of Guide F3068.4.13 Certification or qualification renewal periods shall be determined by the AHJ.4.14 Where uncommon hazards are known to exist in abandoned or inactive mines in the normal area of operations, the AHJ shall consider requiring further training to meet these technical challenges.4.15 Use of this guide is based on the expectation that the AHJ provides, maintains, and inspects PPE for mine search and rescue in accordance with the provisions of 30 CFR, Chapter I, Subchapter H, Part 49, Subparts A and B.1.1 This guide establishes the minimum training required for personnel who take part in search and rescue (SAR) operations in abandoned or inactive mines.1.2 An abandoned or inactive mine search and rescue team member will be able to perform all general land search and rescue functions.1.3 An abandoned or inactive mine search and rescue team member is not trained for SAR operations in surface mines, tunnels, or caves.1.4 This guide applies to underground mines only.
