Rating of degree of danger.

The degree of danger for a dangerous condition must be rated in the following manner: 1. One point must be assigned to a dangerous condition consisting of: (a) A vertical or near vertical hole 8 to 20 feet, inclusive, in depth and highly visible upon approach; (b) An inclined hole less than 50 feet deep from which a person could climb out; (c) A horizontal hole with no associated stopes, winzes or raises; or (d) A high wall of an open pit. 2. Two points must be assigned to a dangerous condition consisting of: (a) A vertical or near vertical hole 8 to 20 feet, inclusive, in depth which is not visible upon approach; (b) Any vertical or near vertical hole 20 to 50 feet, inclusive, in depth; or (c) Any inclined hole greater than 50 feet deep from which a person could climb out with no associated stopes, winzes or raises. 3. Three points must be assigned to a dangerous condition consisting of: (a) Any vertical or near vertical hole 50 to 100 feet, inclusive, in depth; or (b) Any horizontal or inclined hole with associated stopes, winzes or raises with less than a 20-foot vertical opening. 4. Four points must be assigned to a dangerous condition consisting of: (a) Any vertical or near vertical hole which is at least 100 feet deep and visible upon approach; or (b) Any horizontal or inclined hole with associated stopes, winzes or raises with a vertical opening greater than 20 feet. 5. Five points must be assigned to a dangerous condition consisting of any vertical or near vertical hole which is at least 100 feet deep and not visible upon approach. Ê The Administrator or his or her representative may assign a higher degree of danger to a dangerous condition if other factors such as loose ground or the presence of water increase the danger, but the degree of danger for a single dangerous condition may not be scored higher than five points.
