Section 25-9-80 Main fans. (a) All main fans shall be installed on the surface, in fireproof
housings, the fan situated not less than 30 feet from its air shaft or air course and on one
side of the line of such opening so that the fan will not be in direct line of the force of
a blast or explosion. The air duct connecting the fan with the mine opening shall be fireproof
and provided with self-closing explosion doors. (b) In mines ventilated with multiple fans,
each main fan shall be equipped with fireproof doors automatically closing in the event of
a fan failure to prevent air reversal through the fan. (c) Every main fan installed after
August 12, 1949, ventilating a mine classed as gassy, must have an auxiliary drive mechanism
that will operate the fan at not less than 80 percent of its regular volume. Dual fan installations,
independently powered so that one is operative at 80 percent of regular volume during electrical
failures, meet this requirement. (d) All main fans are required...

Section 25-9-84 Coursing of air. (a) Two available openings to the surface are required from
each seam or stratum of coal worked. In drift or slope mines, such openings provided after
August 12, 1949, must be separated by not less than 40 feet of natural strata, and all crosscuts
between them shall be closed with stoppings of fireproof material. In shaft mines, such openings
provided after August 12, 1949, must be separated by not less than 200 feet of natural strata.
The second opening may be made through an adjoining mine. Until these provisions are met,
not over five men in a drift, 10 men in a slope, and 20 men in a shaft shall work in the mine
at one time, and no additional development shall be permitted until the connection is made
to the second opening. In mines wherein final pillar robbing operations necessitate closing
the second opening, the above limitations as to the number of men permitted to work will apply
until the mine is worked out and abandoned. (b) Both openings...
