Description: EXAMiner allows mineworkers to search for hazards by performing a virtual workplace examination with the goal of finding as many hazards as possible. The interactive PC-based application can be used with the 30-plus preloaded images of scenes from four locations at a stone surface mine-in the pit, at the plant, in the shop, and along mine roadways-or trainers can upload their own panoramic images.
The software was designed to be used by trainers during Part 46 annual refresher training, quarterly training meetings, or pre-shift toolbox talks.
There are two options to create a training session:
1.Choose scenes created by NIOSH and have mineworkers perform a virtual examination at one of four locations at a surface stone mine. These include the pit, at the plant, in the shop, and along haul roads and other mine roadways.
2.Import your own panoramic pictures to create customized site-specific scenes to use as training materials at any type of mine, in any sector. This provides the capability to create training materials that address specific hazards your mineworkers are encountering in the workplace. This provides the ability to continually add content to the software, importing as many panoramic pictures as are available to address the changing needs of your mineworkers.
After completing a workplace examination, mineworkers receive feedback on their performance and are provided additional information to reinforce their knowledge of mine site hazards.
