MSHA's Program Policy Manual, Part 45 - General Enforcement Policy for Independent Contractors, provides more specific information regarding identification requirements. MSHA's policy holds independent contractors responsible for violations committed by the contractor or their employees or subcontractors. A MSHA identification number is only required if the independent contractor is cited for a violation or the independent contractor is performing one or more of the following types of services.
1) Mine development, including shaft and slope sinking
2) Construction or reconstruction on mine facilities, including building or rebuilding preparation plant and mining equipment, and building additions to existing facilities.
3) Demolition of mine facilities
4) Construction of dams
5) Excavation or earthmoving activities involving mobile equipment
6) Equipment installation, such as crushers and mills
7) Equipment service or repair of equipment on mine property for a period exceeding five consecutive days at a particular mine
8) Material handling within mine property, including haulage of coal, ore, refuse, etc., unless for the sole purpose of direct removal from or delivery to mine property.
9) Drilling and blasting.
MSHA does not require an independent contractor to obtain an identification number during the pre-bid or bid process. An identification number shall be obtained prior to the start of any work if the independent contractor performs within any of the nine types of work described above.
All independent contractors are held responsible for compliance with the Act, standards, regulations, rules and policies, regardless if they have an identification number.
The mine operator may also be held responsible if certain overlapping conditions exist. Therefore, if the company discovers a violation it will discontinue the services of an independent contractor until the condition is corrected.
Independent Contractor TrainingCFR 30, Part 46, requires the Company to provide the Independent Contractors with hazard awareness safety training prior to performing work on Mine Property. Site Specific Hazard Awareness Training provides a comprehensive understanding of the hazards that are specific to that mine property. The Independent Contractor shall not allow a new employee or employee who has not received Site Specific Hazard Training to enter the Mine Property until the training has been provided. Additional training varies depending on what category the contractor is in and the level of exposure to hazards. The contractor agrees to meet all requirements set forth in CFR 30 Part 46. The Contractor is responsible for providing the appropriate training under Part 46 to each employee before they enter the mine site.

Independent Contractor Reporting Requirements Independent contractors who require an MSHA ID are subject to the record and reporting requirements of CFR 30, part 50. CFR 30, Part 50.20 requires contractors with an MSHA ID to report applicable accidents, injuries and illnesses on form 7000-1. CFR 30, Part 50.30 requires contractors with an MSHA ID to complete and submit Form 7000-2 - Quarterly Employment Report. CFR 30, Part 50.40 requires the contractor to maintain records at the office closest to the mine for a period of five years after submission. CFR 30, Part 50.41 allows the records to be examined by an authorized representative of the Secretary of Labor upon request. All reports are the responsibility of the contractor to complete and maintain. Failure to comply with this section may result in citations and fines to the contractor.
