I have operated Fletcher Roof Ranger Roof drills while working here and also Walk thru Platform Fletcher Roof Drills.

Replace worn or broken tools and machine bits and parts,using wrenches,pry bars, and other hand tools, and lubricate machines, using grease guns. Press buttons to activate conveyor belts, and push or pull chain handles to regulate conveyor movement so that material can be moved or loaded into shuttle cars or dump trucks. Move planer levers to control and adjust the movement of equipment the speed height and depth of cuts, and to rotate swivel-cutting booms. Cut slots along working faces of coal in order to facilitate blasting. Moving levers to start the machine and to control the vertical reciprocating drills. Drive mobile or track mounted cutting machines in mines and on construction sites. Ensure proper mining equipment maintenance and use. Perform a full range of task and operate a variety of equipment in underground mines. Experience includes extensive hands on mining experience that allows for

comprehensive knowledge of mining methods, equipment, and health and safety hazards. Knowledge of transportation of worker, ventilation in close spaces,ground control, roof control,work site environmental conditions that effect the health of workers, and or accident prevention.

Coal Mine Inspector

Specialized experience includes on-site safety/health inspection, analysis, monitoring, or evaluation work in occupational health, in mining or closely related industries, such as building construction, excavation, and heavy industrialplant settings. Examples of creditable experience in related non-mining work include work that provided the applicant with knowledge of ground controlat building sites, safe work site practices, and/or environmental conditions that affect the health of workers at foundries, mills, and other inherently dangerous industrial settings. For example, performance of safety and health inspection work at a steelmillwould qualify at this grade level, but agriculturalinspection work would not. At the GS-9 level(Surface and Underground): specialized experience includes hands-on mining experience that has provided the applicant with knowledge of the transportation of materials and workers, ventilation in closed spaces, ground control, roof control(for underground positions), handling and storage of hazardous materials, work site safety practices, work site environmental conditions that affect the health of workers, and/or accident prevention.
