Abstract

This Standard specifies requirements for systems used for service and safety braking functions on drum and friction winder drum assemblies, used for moving persons, minerals or materials in vertical and inclined shafts in mines.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for systems used for service and safety braking functions on drum and friction winder drum assemblies, used for moving persons, minerals or materials in vertical and inclined shafts in mines.
NOTE Appendix E describes typical hazardous events that can arise during the operation of winding systems, and the associated actions that may be used to address the hazards.
This Standard applies to all powered winding systems, whether vertical or inclined, where the travel distance is more than 40 m, and to powered winding systems carrying more than two people if the travel distance is less than 40 m.
This Standard does not cover retardation provided by the drive system.
