industries. His duties shall be to check conditions to eliminate common work
hazards such as loose rock, faulty timbers, poor rails, insufficient lighting,
defective ladders and scaffolds, fan pipes, firing lines and other equipment
directly related to the work of a miner. If such defects are found he shall
immediately report the same to the superintendent.
(2) It shall be the duty of the
superintendent, upon ascertaining such defects or hazards, to take immediate
steps to remedy the same in compliance with the rules hereinafter set forth. A
record of inspections made on each operation shall be kept on file and a copy
thereof shall be submitted to the safety division of the department of labor
and industries.
(3) In the event
that disagreement arises out of the interpretation of these rules, then the
question shall be referred to the division of safety of the department of labor
and industries for its decision in accordance with the laws of the state, the
