Persons shall not be transported—
(a) In or on dippers, forks, clamshells,
or buckets except shaft buckets

inspection, maintenance and repair
of shafts.
(b) In beds of mobile equipment or
railcars, unless—
(1) Provisions are made for secure
travel, and
(2) Means are taken to prevent accidental
unloading if the equipment is
provided with unloading devices

(a) Except as provided in paragraph
(e), this section applies to experienced
miners who are—
(1) Newly employed by the operator;
(2) Transferred to the mine;
(3) Experienced underground miners
transferred from surface to underground;
or
(4) Returning to the mine after an absence
of more than 12 months.
(b) Experienced miners must complete
the training prescribed in this
section before beginning work duties.
Each experienced miner returning to
mining following an absence of 5 years
or more, must receive at least 8 hours
of training. The training must include
the following instruction....
