Where it is necessary to do welding and cutting in face regions, perceptible ventilation is required, and such work shall be under the direct supervision of a mine official, who shall test for explosive gas before starting operations and frequently thereafter. In all welding and cutting operations, precautions shall be taken against starting a fire, and the area shall be rock-dusted.
