records to mine inspector and miner.
A suitable record book shall be kept at the mine office of every mine wherein fire bosses
are employed, and immediately after the examination of the mine or any portion thereof,
by a fire boss, he shall enter and sign a record of the examination in the book with ink.
The record shall clearly show the time taken in making the examination, the nature and
location of any danger discovered in the mine, and what has been done to correct
dangerous conditions. If any danger is discovered, the fire boss shall immediately report
its location to the mine foreman, or in his absence to the assistant mine foreman in
charge, who shall take immediate action to remove the danger. When a station is located
inside a mine the fire boss shall enter and sign a report both in the record book kept there
and in a record book in the mine office on the surface. The record books of the licensee
shall at all times during working hours be accessible to the mine inspector and the miner
or his representative.
