Reporting and correction of unsafe conditions.

Unsafe conditions, known to any persons underground, that cannot be corrected by them in the course of their normal duties, shall be promptly reported to the mine foreman or direct supervisor. The supervisor to whom unsafe conditions are reported or who detects them in the course of his duties shall be responsible for seeing that they are corrected promptly and that exposure to danger of any person is prevented except as necessary in correcting the condition.
