Jkt 238001

Under section 313 of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 873, any explosives used
in underground coal mines must be
permissible. The Mine Act also provides
that, under safeguards prescribed by the
Secretary of Labor, a mine operator may
permit the firing of more than 20 shots
and the use of nonpermissible
explosives in sinking shafts and slopes
from the surface in rock. Title 30 CFR
75.1321 outlines the procedures by
which a permit may be issued for the
firing of more than 20 boreholes and/or
the use of nonpermissible shot-firing
units in underground coal mines. In
those instances in which there is a
misfire of explosives, section 75.1327
requires that a qualified person post
each accessible entrance to the affected
area with a warning to prohibit entry.
Section 77.1909–1 outlines the
procedures by which a coal mine
operator may apply for a permit to use
nonpermissible explosives and/or shotfiring units in the blasting of rock while

ADDRESSES:

Under section 305(g) of the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977
(Mine Act), all electric equipment shall
be frequently examined, tested, and
properly maintained by a qualified
person to assure safe operating
conditions.
Title 30 CFR 75.153 and 77.103 define
a person as qualified to perform
electrical work if he has been qualified
as a coal mine electrician by a State that
has a coal mine electrical qualification
program approved by MSHA; or if he
has at least one year of experience
performing electrical work underground
in a coal mine, in a surface coal mine,
in a noncoal mine, in the mine
equipment manufacturing industry, or
in any other industry using or
manufacturing similar equipment, and
has satisfactorily completed a coal mine
electrical training program approved by
MSHA or has attained a satisfactory
grade on a series of five written tests
approved by MSHA.
MSHA Form 5000–1 provides the coal
mining industry with a standardized
reporting format that expedites the
certification process while ensuring
compliance with the regulations. The
information provided on the form
enables MSHA to determine if the
applicants satisfy the requirements to
obtain the certification or qualification.
