2.05.3 (6) <br />If it becomes necessary to remove hazardous material from the <br />highwall a wheeled loader will be used if the hazard is within <br />its reach. Otherwise a cable drag suspended from a dozer blade <br />will be used to drag the face of the highwall. If this fails, <br />the hazard will be drilled from behind and blasted. No <br />hazards will be removed by hand. <br />Any equipment broken down near a highwall will be towed a safe <br />distance away, if possible, before repair operations begin. <br />If the equipment can't be moved, the highwall will be cable <br />dragged before repair operations begin and the loose material <br />knocked down. When repair operations begin, a man, other <br />than the mechanic (s), will be standing by watching the highwall <br />for any signs of failure or hazards. <br />Every operator is required to do a pre-start equipment inspection <br />and to report any mechanical or safety defects to the head <br />mechanic, who in turn will take the necessary corrective action. <br />Before the drill is started a visual mechanical and safety <br />inspection will be made. When moved into position, stable <br />ground conditions are ascertained before set-up. Ground cond- <br />itions are again chedked before drilling operatiohs begin. <br />The drill mast is pinned into the upright position and the <br />manufactureer's recommended operation procedures are followed. <br />If the terrain is too rough for safe drill operations, roads <br />and pads will be cut with a track dozer. Safety glasses and <br />respirators will be available to the driller. <br />~• 2G8 <br />
