S-2.1, r. 14 - Regulation respecting occupational health and safety in mines
Section 326
Disposition versions
326. Before using a newly installed cage, a skip or a skip-cage combination intended for transport of persons or one whose safety catches or mass has been altered, a free-fall test shall be carried out. The following data concerning the test shall be noted and kept on the mine site:
(1) the maximum speed at which the conveyance travelled during the test;
(2) the mass of the conveyance;
(3) the load contained in the conveyance;
(4) the total distance of the conveyance’s fall;
(5) the distance travelled by the conveyance after the safety catches engage.
Where the cage, skip or cage-skip assembly that the employer wishes to use is similar to a cage, a skip or a cage-skip assembly already tested in accordance with the first paragraph, a quick release test is sufficient.
