(a) spliced rope is used for hauling in the operation of the tramway; or
(b) due to wear, corrosion, broken or damaged wires-
(i) there is a reduction of 25% in effective bearing cross-sectional area within a rope length equal to 40 times rope diameter; or
(ii) the condition of the rope or its performance leaves any doubt as to its integrity and safety in operation.
(2) For the purpose of calculation of the reduction in effective bearing cross-sectional area in subregulation (1)-
(a) if the reduction of cross-sectional area is the result of broken wires, the sum of all the cross-sectional areas of all the broken wires within the relevant length shall constitute the total amount of the reduction;
(b) if there are several breaks in one and the same wire within the relevant length, only one wire's cross-sectional area has to be taken into account; and
(c) loose wires and wires with strand deformation shall be considered as broken.
(3) The engineering superintendent shall cause a record to be kept in relation to the hauling rope containing the following information-
