  "text": "(1) Subject to the following provisions of this regulation the manager of any mine in which shells are used may as respects that mine or any part thereof make a scheme for the conveyance in bulk of materials for filling or priming shells (herein referred to as “a scheme of transit”) whereby such materials packed on the surface in boxes complying with paragraph (2) of the last preceding regulation may be conveyed in a special carriage to one or more reserve stations in that mine or part of the mine or to the working face.\n(2) Every scheme of transit shall contain provisions for securing safety with respect to each of the following matters—\n(a) the location, construction and marking of each reserve station and the custody of the keys thereof;\n(b) the design and construction of the special carriage;\n(c) supervision of and precautions to be taken during the transit of the carriage;\n(d) supervision of any materials for filling or priming shells at a reserve station;\n(e) if such materials are to be taken in bulk to any working face, the manner of so doing;\n(f) the maximum quantity of such materials to be at any reserve station at any time;\n(g) the control of the issue of such materials from any reserve station;\n(h) the return of such materials to a reserve station or other place appointed by the manager.\n(3) Every scheme of transit shall contain provisions to ensure that except in pursuance of a provision of the scheme, no material for filling or priming shells shall while being conveyed in bulk be taken nearer to a working face (not being only a place in a road at which ripping or work of repair is in progress) than the reserve station nearest to that face.\n(4) A scheme of transit may impose duties and prohibitions on persons employed at the mine and those persons shall comply therewith. It shall be the duty of the manager of the mine to secure that the provisions of any scheme of transit for that mine are executed and enforced.\n(5) If an inspector is of opinion with respect to a scheme of transit that the provisions contained therein in pursuance of paragraph (2) of this regulation are not adequate to secure safety, he may serve on the manager of the mine a notice stating that he is of that opinion, specifying the nature of the provision which in his opinion ought to be made and requiring the manager to amend the scheme accordingly, and any such notice shall, if it is so specified therein, become operative forthwith.\n(6) The provisions of Part XV of the Act with respect to references upon notices served by inspectors shall apply to a notice served under the last preceding paragraph, and the relevant ground of objection shall be that the provisions contained in the scheme of transit in pursuance of paragraph (2) of this regulation are adequate to secure safety.\n(7) The person in charge of the materials for filling or priming shells at any reserve station shall ensure that any such materials remaining thereat at the end of his period of duty are either delivered by him to a person appointed to have charge of them during the immediately following shift or are returned to a place appointed by the manager of the mine for the purpose.\n(8) The manager of every mine at which a scheme of transit is in operation shall ensure that a copy thereof is provided in the covered accommodation provided in pursuance of section one hundred and thirty-five of the Act and that a copy thereof is supplied to each person employed at the mine who is appointed by the manager to fire shells.",
