Under the direct supervision policy, how many trainees may be supervised by a single certified miner at one time?

• A. 1 trainee
• B. 2 trainees
• C. 3 trainees
• D. 4 trainees

Answer: (A)

Direct supervision means the certified miner is physically present with the trainee, watching closely and ready to immediately correct actions or stop unsafe work. To keep that level of hands-on oversight, only one trainee can be supervised by a single certified miner at a time. Having two, three, or four trainees would dilute the supervisor’s ability to provide constant, near-immediate guidance, which is the essence of direct supervision. So the limit is one trainee at a time.
