Section 25-9-211

Maintenance, etc., of mine locomotives and other haulage equipment.

(a) Mine locomotives must be maintained so that brakes are adequate and in good order, sand riggings are operative, and locomotives are in safe operating condition.

(b) Other rolling stock must be maintained so that its condition does not entail undue hazards to transportation crews or to workmen whose duties require them to work around the haulage.

(c) Cars must be kept reasonably tight to hold coal spillage within practical limits.

(d) Motormen shall inspect locomotives before operating and report conditions found that make operation hazardous. They shall exercise a degree of care of haulage equipment consistent with the type of service and conditions of operation.
