Section 614. Transportation of Explosives and Detonators Underground.--When explosives or detonators are transported underground in cars moved by means of a locomotive or rope, they shall be in substantial covered cars or in special substantial covered containers used specifically for transporting detonators or explosives.
(1) The bodies and covers of such cars and containers shall be constructed or lined with nonconductive material.
(2) Explosives and detonators shall not be hauled in the same explosives car or in the same special container.
(3) Explosives or detonators shall not be transported on the same cage or trip with men.
(4) Man trips shall not precede or follow a trip containing explosives or detonators until sufficient time has elapsed to assure the safety of the men in the man trip. If traveling against the air current, the man trip shall precede the explosives trip; if traveling with the air current the man trip shall follow the explosives trip.
Compiler's Note: Section 9(b) of Act 173 of 1978 provided that section 614 is repealed insofar as it is inconsistent with 1 Pa.C.S. § 2301(d) (relating to equality of rights based on sex).
