Wire rope standards
These final rules (effective date 24 Jan. 1984) revise existing safety standards for the selection, use, examination and retirement of wire ropes used at coal, metal and non-metal mines. They apply to ropes used to hoist persons in shafts and slopes at all underground mines and at incline hoists in surface mines. Existing standards are clarified and updated to reflect current mining practices and state-of-the-art technology. Record-keping and paperwork requirements are reduced where possible, and alternative methods of compliance are specified.

Amendment to 30 CFR Parts 55 - Health and safety standards: metal and nonmetallic open pit mines; 56 - Health and safety standards: sand, gravel and crushed stone operations; and 57 - Health and safety standards: metal and nonmetallic underground mines.
These amendments, dated 2 Aug. 1974, became effective on 7 Aug. 1974. The standards are revised to prescribe that no employee shall be permitted an exposure to noise in excess of 90dBA for 8h a day, 92dBA:6h, 95dBA:4h, 97dBA:3h, 100dBA:2h, 102dBA:1h30min, 105dBA:1h, 110dBA:30min, 115dBA:15min or less. No exposure to exceed 115dBA. Impact or impulsive noise not to exceed 140dBA peak sound pressure level. When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise exposure at different levels, their combined effect shall be considered rather than the individual effect of each.
