A. The following shall be guarded and maintained adequately:
1. Gears, sprockets, pulleys, fan blades or propellers, friction devices andcouplings with protruding bolts or nuts.
2. Shafting and projecting shaft ends that are within seven feet of floor orplatform level.
3. Belt, chain or rope drives that are within seven feet of floor or platform.
4. Fly wheels. Where fly wheels extend more than seven feet above the floor,they shall be guarded to a height of at least seven feet.
5. Circular and band saws and planers.
6. Repair pits. Guards shall be kept in place when the pits are not in use.
7. Counterweights.
8. Mine fans. The approach shall be guarded.
9. Lighting and other electrical equipment that may cause shock hazards orpersonal injury.
B. Machinery shall not be repaired or oiled while in motion; provided,however, that this shall not apply where safe remote oiling devices are used.
C. A guard or safety device removed from any machine shall be replaced beforethe machine is put in operation.
D. Mechanically operated grinding wheels shall be equipped with:
1. Safety washers and tool rests.
2. Substantial retaining hoods, the hood opening of which shall not exposemore than a 90 degree sector of the wheel. Such hoods shall include a deviceto control and collect excess rock, metal or dust particles, or equivalentprotection shall be provided to the employees operating such machinery.
3. Eyeshields, unless goggles are worn by the operators.
E. The operator or his agent shall develop procedures for examining forpotential hazards, completing proper maintenance, and properly operating eachtype of centrifugal pump. The procedures shall, at a minimum, address themanufacturers' recommendations for start-up and shutdown of the pumps, properactions to be taken when a pump is suspected of overheating, safe location ofstart and stop switches, and actions to be taken when signs of structuralmetal fatigue such as cracks in the frame, damaged cover mounting brackets,or missing bolts or other components are detected. All miners who repair,maintain, or operate such pumps shall be trained in these procedures.
