Title: Fire Extinguishers in Underground Coal Mines | |
Abstract: The fire protection requirement in 30 CFR 75.1100-2(a)(2) requires rock dust and water at the underground workings at anthracite coal mines, and 30 CFR 75.1100-2(e)(2) requires a fire extinguisher and rock dust at temporary electrical installations. MSHA has granted 101(c) petitions for modification allowing operators to use only fire extinguishers in lieu of rock dust and other requirements at these two locations. This final rule eliminates the need to file petitions to use this alternative method of compliance without reducing protection for miners. | |
