Description: Title 30, Code of Federal
Regulations, § 77.1101(a) requires
operators of surface coal mines,
including surface facilities, and surface
work areas of underground coal mines
to establish and keep current a specific
escape and evacuation plan to be
followed in the event of a fire.
Section 77.1101(b) requires that all
employees be instructed in current
escape and evacuation plans, fire alarm
signals, and applicable procedures to be
followed in case of fire. The training
and record keeping requirements
associated with this standard are
addressed under OMB No. 1219–0009
(Training Plan Regulations).
Section 77.1101(c) requires that
escape and evacuation plans include the
designation and proper maintenance of
adequate means for exiting areas where
persons are required to work or travel
including buildings, equipment, and in
areas where persons normally
congregate during the work shift.
The escape and evacuation plan is
prepared by the mine operator and is
used by mines, MSHA, and persons
involved in rescue and recovery. The
plan is used to instruct employees in the
proper methods of exiting structures in
the event of a fire. MSHA inspection
personnel use the plan to determine
compliance with the standard requiring
a means of escape and evacuation be
established and the requirement that
employees be instructed in the
procedures to follow should a fire occur.

Administration.

to conduct examinations of slope and
shaft areas for hazardous conditions,
including tests for methane and oxygen
deficiency, within 90 minutes before
each shift, once during each shift, and
before and after blasting. The surface
area surrounding each slope and shaft is
also required to be inspected for
hazards.
The standard also requires that a
record be kept of the results of the
inspections. The record includes a
description of any hazardous condition
found and the corrective action taken to
abate it. The record is necessary to
ensure that the inspections and tests are
conducted in a timely fashion and that
corrective action is taken when
hazardous conditions are identified,
thereby ensuring a safe working
environment for the slope and shaft
sinking employees. The record is
maintained at the mine site for the
duration of the operation.
The records are used by slope and
shaft supervisors and employees, State
mine inspectors, and Federal mine
inspectors. The records show that the
examinations and tests were conducted
and give insight into the hazardous
conditions that have been encountered
and those that may be encountered. The
records of inspections greatly assist
those who use them in making decisions
that will ultimately affect the safety and
health of slope and shaft sinking
employees.
