Units and enterprises with coal mining activities must review designs, construction methods, rules, regulations and operating procedures for machines and equipment to supplement and adjust them to suit production reality, ensuring safe work.
Before construction, installation, repair, dismantling of works, equipment..., the unit must establish and approve measures and construction passports; which must show the contents complying with current standards.
Before putting the project and equipment into use and operation, the unit and enterprise must organize technical acceptance in accordance with approved construction measures and passports.
