L. 95–164), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. Further, section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to develop, promulgate, and revise as may be appropriate, improved mandatory health or safety standards for the protection of life and prevention of injuries in coal or other mines. Inadequate maintenance of electric equipment is a major cause of serious electrical accidents in the coal mining industry. It is imperative that mine operators adopt and follow an effective maintenance program to ensure that electric equipment is maintained in a safe operating condition to prevent electrocutions, mine fires, and mine explosions. MSHA regulations require the mine operator to establish an electrical maintenance program by specifying minimum requirements for the examination, testing, and maintenance of electric equipment. The regulations also contain recordkeeping requirements that help operators in implementing an effective maintenance program. (a) Examinations of Electric Equipment • Underground Coal Mines (1) 30 CFR 75.512 requires that all electric equipment be frequently examined, tested, and maintained by a qualified person to assure safe operating conditions. When a potentially dangerous condition is found on electric equipment, such equipment shall be removed from service until such condition is corrected and that a record of such examinations be kept. 30 CFR PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 75.512–2 specifies that required examinations and tests be made at least weekly. (2) 30 CFR 75.703–3(d)(11) requires that all grounding diodes be tested, examined, and maintained as electric equipment and records of these activities be kept in accordance with the provisions of 30 CFR 75.512. • Surface Coal Mines and Surface Work Areas of Underground Coal Mines (3) 30 CFR 77.502 requires that electric equipment be frequently examined, tested, and maintained by a qualified person to ensure safe operating conditions. When a potentially dangerous condition is found on electric equipment, such equipment shall be removed from service until such condition is corrected and that a record of such examinations be kept. 30 CFR 77.502–2 requires these examinations and tests at least monthly. (b) Examinations of High-Voltage Circuit Breakers • Underground Coal Mines (1) 30 CFR 75.800 requires that circuit breakers protecting high-voltage circuits, which enter the underground area of a coal mine, be properly tested and maintained as prescribed by the Secretary. Such breakers must be equipped with devices to provide protection against under-voltage grounded phase, short circuit, and overcurrent. 30 CFR 75.800–3 requires that such circuit breakers be tested and examined at least once each month. Tests must include: (1) Breaking continuity of the ground check conductor, where ground check monitoring is used; and (2) Actuating at least two (2) of the auxiliary protective relays. Examination must include visual observation of all components of the circuit breaker and its auxiliary devices, and such repairs or adjustments as are indicated by such tests and examinations shall be carried out immediately. 30 CFR 75.800–4 requires that a record of the examinations and tests be made. These records must be made in a secure book that is not susceptible to alteration or electronically in a computer system so as to be secure and not susceptible to alteration. These records shall be retained at a surface location at the mine for at least one year and shall be made available to authorized representatives of the Secretary, the representative of miners, and other interested persons. (2) 30 CFR 75.820 requires persons to lock-out and tag disconnecting devices when working on circuits and E:\FR\FM\24JYN1.SGM 24JYN1
