MSHA PROGRAM POLICY MANUAL VOLUME V to the surface, Part 77 standards will apply to the slope or shaft construction and to areas at the immediate slope or shaft bottom to the extent necessary to install equipment and complete construction. Where a new slope or shaft is constructed from an underground area of an existing mine from one coalbed to another coalbed to be mined, where the slope or shaft does not directly intersect the surface, Part 75 standards will apply because the slope or shaft does not originate from the surface and will not directly intersect the surface. Construction, repair or inspection of these slopes or shafts will be covered under Part 75 standards. In cases where construction, repairs or inspection are necessary at existing slopes or shafts that originate from the surface, Part 77 standards will be applied to the construction, repair or inspection activity. Any construction, repair, or inspection activity performed under Part 77 standards will be confined to the slope or shaft and the immediate slope or shaft bottom. Ongoing routine maintenance of the slope or shaft or routine maintenance of equipment installed in the slope or shaft would fall under Part 75 standards. An approved slope or shaft construction plan under Part 77 will not be required if Part 75 standards are complied with. The hoist used under an approved slope or shaft construction plan is not intended for use as a permanent man hoisting installation. If the hoist used in conjunction with the slope or shaft construction, repair, or inspection does not comply with all provisions of Part 75 standards then only those persons engaged in the slope or shaft construction, repair, or inspection will be permitted to ride the hoist during these activities. It is not the intention of this policy to permit access to the mine by using a hoist approved under a slope or shaft construction plan for any other purpose except for construction, repair, or inspection activity directly related to the slope or shaft. A slope or shaft construction plan as required under §77.1900 shall be approved by the District Manager prior to commencing any work activity that will be addressed under the Part 77 plan. 77.1908 Hoist Installations; Use "Crossheads," as referred to in paragraph (d), are members that engage the guides. "Independently powered auxiliary hoists," as referred to in paragraph (f), means any safe method that can be used to remove miners from a slope or shaft quickly in the event of an emergency. 77.1908-1 Hoist Operation; Qualified Hoistman A qualified hoistman within the meaning of this Section is an individual who meets the requirements of Section 77.105.

MSHA PROGRAM POLICY MANUAL VOLUME V 77.1909-1 Use of Nonpermissible Explosives and Nonpermissible Shot-Firing Units; Approval by Health and Safety District Manager When an inspector finds nonpermissible explosives and nonpermissible shot-firing units being used, he shall check to see if a permit, as required by this Section, has been issued, and to determine if the proper safeguards were being employed. 77.1913 Fire-Resistant Wood This Section requires that all timbers and other wood products except track crossties permanently installed in slopes and shafts shall be fire-resistant.
