When a diesel engine is used in underground mine operations, all dead-end headings shall be separately ventilated by auxiliary venti- lation with a minimum air velocity of not less than 50 linear feet per minute in the working face itself. The intake of the auxiliary system must be so located that air entering it will not be contaminated by exhaust gases from the diesel engine when operating between the intake and the face of the working area. When any portion of the primary or auxiliary exhaust system is not functioning, no diesel engine shall be allowed to operate in the area of no ventilation.
