Ohio Admin. Code 1501:10-2-03 - General requirements for underground use of diesel-powered equipment
(A)
Underground use of inby and outby diesel-powered
equipment, including mobile equipment, stationary equipment and equipment of
all horsepower ratings, shall be approved, operated and maintained only as
provided in this chapter, except for emergency fire-fighting equipment to be
used specifically for that purpose.
(B)
All
diesel-powered equipment shall be attended in underground mines while in
operation or when the engine is running.
(C)
Inby and outby
diesel-powered equipment may be used in underground mines if the inby or outby
diesel-powered equipment uses an engine approved or certified by MSHA, as
applicable, for inby or outby use, that when tested at the maximum fuel-to-air
ratio, does not require an MSHA 30 C.F.R. Part 7 approval plate ventilation
rate exceeding seventy-five cubic feet per minute (cfm) per rated horsepower.
Should MSHA promulgate new regulations that change the 30 C.F.R. Part 7 approval plate ventilation rate, the cfm requirement per rated horsepower will
be either increased or decreased on a direct ratio basis as approved by the
chief.
(D)
