In any instance, escapeways shall be of sufficient width to enable miners, including disabled persons, to escape quickly in an emergency. When there is a need to determine whether sufficient width is provided, MSHA may require a stretcher test where 4 persons carry a miner through the area in question on a stretcher;\n\n(5) Located to follow the most direct, safe and practical route to the nearest mine opening suitable for the safe evacuation of miners; and\n\n(6) Provided with ladders, stairways, ramps, or similar facilities where the escapeways cross over obstructions.\n\n(7) Provided with a continuous, durable directional lifeline or equivalent device that shall be—\n\n(i) Installed and maintained throughout the entire length of each escapeway as defined in paragraph (b)(1) of this section;\n\n(ii) Flame-resistant in accordance with the requirements of part 18 of this chapter upon replacement of existing lifelines; but in no case later than June 15, 2009;\n\n(iii) Marked with a reflective material every 25 feet;\n\n(iv) Located in such a manner for miners to use effectively to escape;\n\n(v) Equipped with one directional indicator cone securely attached to the lifeline, signifying the route of escape, placed at intervals not exceeding 100 feet. Cones shall be installed so that the tapered section points inby;\n\n(vi) Equipped with one sphere securely attached to the lifeline at each intersection where personnel doors are installed in adjacent crosscuts;\n\n(vii) Equipped with two securely attached cones, installed consecutively with the tapered section pointing inby, to signify an attached branch line is immediately ahead.\n\n(A) A branch line leading from the lifeline to an SCSR cache will be marked with four cones with the base sections in contact to form two diamond shapes. The cones must be placed within reach of the lifeline.\n\n(B) A branch line leading from the lifeline to a refuge alternative will be marked with a rigid spiraled coil at least eight inches in length. The spiraled coil must be placed within reach of the lifeline (see Illustration 1 below).\n\n(e) Surface openings shall be adequately protected to prevent surface fires, fumes, smoke, and flood water from entering the mine.\n\n(f) Primary escapeway. (1) One escapeway that is ventilated with intake air shall be designated as the primary escapeway. The primary escapeway shall have a higher ventilation pressure than the belt entry unless the mine operator submits an alternative in the mine ventilation plan to protect the integrity of the primary escapeway, based on mine specific conditions, which is approved by the district manager.\n\n(2) Paragraphs (f)(3) through (f)(7) of this section apply as follows:\n\n(i) To all areas of a primary escapeway developed on or after November 16, 1992;\n\n(ii) Effective as of June 10, 1997, to all areas of a primary escapeway developed between March 30, 1970 and November 16, 1992; and\n\n(iii) Effective as of June 10, 1997, to all areas of the primary escapeway developed prior to March 30, 1970 where separation of the belt and trolley haulage entries from the primary escapeway existed prior to November 16, 1992.\n\n(3) The following equipment is not permitted in the primary escapeway:\n\n(i) Mobile equipment hauling coal except for hauling coal incidental to cleanup or maintenance of the primary escapeway.\n\n(ii) Compressors, except—\n\n(A) Compressors necessary to maintain the escapeway in safe, travelable condition;\n\n(B) Compressors that are components of equipment such as locomotives and rock dusting machines; and\n\n(C) Compressors of less than five horsepower.\n\n(iii) Underground transformer stations, battery charging stations, substations, and rectifiers except—\n\n(A) Where necessary to maintain the escapeway in safe, travelable condition; and\n\n(B) Battery charging stations and rectifiers and power centers with transformers that are either dry-type or contain nonflammable liquid, provided they are located on or near a working section and are moved as the section advances or retreats.\n\n(iv) Water pumps, except—\n\n(A) Water pumps necessary to maintain the escapeway in safe, travelable condition;\n\n(B) Submersible pumps;\n\n(C) Permissible pumps and associated permissible switchgear;\n\n(D) Pumps located on or near a working section that are moved as the section advances or retreats;\n\n(E) Pumps installed in anthracite mines; and\n\n(F) Small portable pumps.\n\n(4) Mobile equipment operated in the primary escapeway, except for continuous miners and as provided in paragraphs (f)(5), (f)(6), and (f)(7) of this section, shall be equipped with a fire suppression system installed according to §§ 75.1107-3 through 75.1107-16 that is—\n\n(i) Manually operated and attended continuously by a person trained in the systems function and use, or\n\n(ii) A multipurpose dry chemical type capable of both automatic and manual activation.\n\n(5) Personnel carriers and small mobile equipment designed and used only for carrying people and small hand tools may be operated in primary escapeways if—\n\n(i) The equipment is provided with a multipurpose dry chemical type fire suppression system capable of both automatic and manual activation, and the suppression system is suitable for the intended application and is listed or approved by a nationally recognized independent testing laboratory, or,\n\n(ii) Battery powered and provided with two 10 pound multipurpose dry chemical portable fire extinguishers.\n\n(6) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (f)(3)(i), mobile equipment not provided with a fire suppression system may operate in the primary escapeway if no one is inby except those persons directly engaged in using or moving the equipment.\n\n(7) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (f)(3)(i), mobile equipment designated and used only as emergency vehicles or ambulances, may be operated in the primary escapeway without fire suppression systems.\n\n(g) Except where separation of belt and trolley haulage entries from designated escapeways did not exist before November 15, 1992, and except as provided in § 75.350(c), the primary escapeway must be separated from belt and trolley haulage entries for its entire length, to and including the first connecting crosscut outby each loading point except when a greater or lesser distance for this separation is specified and approved in the mine ventilation plan and does not pose a hazard to miners.\n\n(h) Alternate escapeway.
