Flameproof mining electric locomotives operate in hazardous environments, requiring strict adherence to safety regulations. Below are key safety operating rules:
1. Use of Warning Bell
The locomotive must be equipped with a functioning warning bell. Operators must sound the bell before starting and when approaching turns to alert nearby personnel and locomotives.
2. Red Light Requirement
Flameproof locomotives must have red lights at the front and rear. The red lights must be turned on before starting to warn others.
3. Body Safety
Drivers must not extend their heads or any body parts outside the locomotive while operating to avoid injury.
4. Certified Operator Requirement
Only trained and certified operators can drive the locomotive. Untrained or uncertified personnel are strictly prohibited from operating it.
5. Emergency Braking
In emergencies, operators must use both the electric brake and the hand brake simultaneously to ensure effective stopping.
6. Maintenance Safety
During maintenance, the power supply must be disconnected, the controller key removed and stored safely, and the brake engaged to prevent unintended movement.
7. Signal Locking Device
To prevent collisions, flameproof locomotives must be equipped with a signal locking device to ensure safe operation.
8. Speed Limit
The locomotive’s maximum operating speed must not exceed 4m/s to maintain safe travel conditions.
9. Minimum Distance Requirement
A minimum distance of 100 meters must be maintained between locomotives traveling on the same track to prevent accidents.
10. Use of Approved Safety Equipment
All safety components, such as fuses, pins, and rings, must meet quality standards and come from certified manufacturers to ensure reliability.
11. Emergency Stop Signal
Flameproof locomotives must have a regulation allowing miners to use cap lamps to signal emergency stops when necessary.
Strict compliance with these safety regulations ensures the safe operation of flameproof mining electric locomotives while protecting personnel and equipment. All operators and related staff must receive proper training to enhance safety awareness and prevent accidents.
