(a) No person shall alter or change any drill hole after it has been approved by the shot-firer or the trona utility shot-firer.
(b) No shot-firer or trona utility shot-firer, whether voluntarily or by command or request of any person, shall fire any unlawful shot, or any shot which is not a workmanlike, proper and practical shot.
(c) No person shall order, command or induce any shot-firer or trona utility shot-firer to fire any unlawful shot, or any shot which is not a workmanlike, proper and practical shot.
(d) No person shall drill or shoot a dead hole. A "dead hole" is a hole where the width of the shot at the point measured at right angles to the line of hole is so great that the heel is not of sufficient strength to at least balance the resistance at the point. The "heel" means that part of the shot which lies outside of the collar.
