- Description
- MSHA IS SEEKING SOURCES FOR THE FOLLOWING: Background: While filling an SCBA oxygen tank for mine rescue training, a large, extremely hot fire erupted at an oxygen pump severely burning the Benchman. The root cause of the fire was inadequate training of mine personnel in the setup, maintenance, and operation of the SCBA filling system. Provisions of the new Miner Act that require more mine rescue teams and additional mine rescue training will increase the use of SCBA?s and the likelihood of another oxygen fire and injury. To stay ahead of this risk, a training video will be developed to cover oxygen fire hazards and the precautions needed to help ensure the safe refilling of SCBA?s using oxygen booster pumps. Final Product: A training video, in DVD format, shall be prepared. The video shall deal with the fire hazards of filling SCBA?s using an oxygen booster pump. The video shall cover the entire SCBA filling process, including but not limited to, installation/construction of the refilling facility, receipt of oxygen supply bottles, maintenance of equipment, and training of personnel. The video will be prepared for an audience of mining personnel that have received some prior training in the filling of SCBA?s. Deliverables: The contractor will prepare a draft script and suggest various video footage/graphics required. The contractor will coordinate with MSHA in determining the overall presentation concepts. The contractor should rely on MSHA for administrative functions in order to control contract costs. MSHA will coordinate input and review of the script by MSHA and industry personnel (mine operators, mine rescue team benchmen, booster pump manufacturers, O2 suppliers, and others as necessary). Upon approval of the script by MSHA the contractor will assist MSHA in defining the video storyboard. The contractor will help define the shots required and shoot and edit the video as required. The contractor will also provide video graphics as necessary. Filming of the process and especially actual oxygen fires at the contractor?s test facility will be conducted as necessary. The contractor will provide necessary test facility personnel. The contractor will coordinate with MSHA and oxygen booster pump manufacturers (Haskel, Drager, Masterline, etc.) to include in the video as many different pumps and their manufacturer?s recommended safety procedures as practicable. The contractor will also coordinate with MSHA and oxygen suppliers to include their safety recommendations. As necessary, copy-right permission for the video must be granted to MSHA at no additional charge. Video production and distribution will be MSHA?s responsibility. The contractor will assist MSHA in preparation of a hard copy format of the training. This document will include the final script, revised as necessary for hard copy presentation, and additional information not included in the video. This additional information may include full copies of oxygen booster pump manufacturer?s safety literature, oxygen supplier recommended safety practices, industry best practices, applicable industry safety standards, more detailed safety information, and, as necessary, documentation of references for statements in the video. Travel: No travel expenses by vendor personnel are included in this purchase order. MSHA or industry personnel may arrange mutually agreeable visits to the vendor?s facilities as necessary. Service Rates: The vendor will bill MSHA on an actual cost basis but shall not exceed the maximum amount specified in the purchase order. The vendor should exercise prudent judgment in the choice of personnel working on the project. Lower service rates should be charged where practicable to still achieve a quality product. Safety and Health: MSHA is dedicated to safety and health. It is of utmost importance that the training video depict safety and health procedures based on sound engineering, best industry practices, and OSHA and MSHA regulations and recommendations. Where appropriate, concepts from ANSI Z10, Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, should be incorporated into the training. The contractor is encouraged to suggest new or innovative safety and health concepts. These must be clearly identified as such and accepted by MSHA prior to inclusion into the script. All filming, especially of any staged fires, conducted at the contractor?s facility must be thoroughly planned. The contractor must perform a risk assessment to identify hazards and necessary precautions. All work must meet OSHA regulations. Additional precautions may be necessary.
