SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners.
Compressed-air receivers and other
unfired pressure vessels must be
inspected by inspectors holding a valid
National Board Commission and in
accordance with the applicable chapters
of the National Board Inspection Code,
a Manual for Boiler and Pressure
Vessels Inspectors, 1979. Safety defects
found on compressed-air receivers and
other unfired pressure vessels have
caused injuries and fatalities in the
mining industry.
Records of inspections must be kept
in accordance with the requirements of
the National Board Inspection Code and
the records must be made available to
the Secretary or an authorized
representative.
Fired pressure vessels (boilers) must
be equipped with water level gauges,
pressure gauges, automatic pressurerelief valves, blowdown piping and
other safety devices approved by the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) to protect against
hazards from overpressure, flameouts,
fuel interruptions and low water level.
Records of inspection and repairs
must be retained by the mine operator
in accordance with the requirements of
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, 1977, and the National Board
Inspection Code (progressive records—
no limit on retention time) and shall be
made available to the Secretary or an
authorized representative.
Operators must inspect equipment,
machinery, and tools that are to be used
during a shift for safety defects before
the equipment is placed in operation.
Defects affecting safety are required to
be corrected in a timely manner. In
instances where the defect makes
continued operation of the equipment
hazardous to persons, the equipment
must be removed from service, tagged to
identify that it is out of use, and
repaired before use is resumed.
Safety defects on self-propelled
mobile equipment account for many
injuries and fatalities in the mining
industry. Inspection of this equipment
prior to use is required to ensure safe
operation. The equipment operator is
required to make a visual and
operational check of the various primary
operating systems that affect safety,
E:\FR\FM\28MRN1.SGM
28MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 58 / Tuesday, March 28, 2017 / Notices
such as brakes, lights, horn, seatbelts,
tires, steering, back-up alarm,
windshield, cab safety glass, rear and
side view mirrors, and other safety and
health related items.
Any defects found are required to be
either corrected immediately, or
reported to and recorded by the mine
operator prior to the timely correction.
A record is not required if the defect is
corrected immediately, i.e. a defect that
the operator can fix without a mechanic
such as a light bulb that needs turned
tighter. The precise format in which the
record is kept is left to the discretion of
the mine operator. Reports of
uncorrected defects are required to be
recorded by the mine operator and kept
at the mine office from the date the
defects are recorded, until the defects
are corrected.
A competent person designated by the
operator must examine each working
place at least once each shift for
conditions which may adversely affect
safety or health. A record of such
examinations must be kept by the
operator for a period of one year and
must be made available for review by
the Secretary or an authorized
representative.
