			 authorized under regulations promulgated by the United States department of
			 labor to act as an insurance carrier with respect to liabilities created by
			 Title IV of the "Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969," as amended.

			 and regulations as a party in interest to all proceedings regarding claims
			 filed against employers insured by said fund.
(B) All notices of claims received from
			 employers insured by the coal-workers' pneumoconiosis fund, and all notices of
			 claims received from the department of labor 
								will be
			 promptly reviewed by the bureau. The administrator or the administrator's

								is authorized to file notices of controversion in the
			 name of the coal-workers' pneumoconiosis fund, in all cases wherein such action
			 is warranted by the facts of the case or the law applicable to such
			 facts.
(C) In any controverted
			 claim the administrator or designee is authorized to represent the interest of
			 the coal-workers' pneumoconiosis fund in all proceedings pertinent to the
			 controverted claim. This rule 
								will not be construed to limit or preclude a
			 subscriber from obtaining private counsel to represent it in such claims and
			 expenses thereby incurred 
								are the responsibility of the
			 subscriber.

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 4123 - Bureau of Workers' Compensation › Chapter 4123-21 - Coal-Workers' Pneumoconiosis Fund › Section 4123-21-09 - Rule to transfer funds from coal-workers pneumoconiosis fund to mining regulation and safety fund

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Pursuant to
			 division (B) of section
			 4131.03 of the Revised Code, the
			 director of natural resources annually may request the administrator of
			 workers' compensation to transfer a portion of the funds from the net position
			 of the coal-workers pneumoconiosis fund to the mining regulation and safety
			 fund created in section
			 1513.30 of the Revised Code for
			 the purposes specified in that section.
(B)
								If the
			 administrator receives a request, the administrator may transfer an amount not
			 to exceed one million dollars on the first day of July or as soon as possible
			 thereafter.
(C)
								The administrator may transfer a portion of the funds
			 from the net position of the coal-workers' pneumoconiosis fund to the mining
			 regulation and safety fund only if the ratio of assets to liabilities of the
			 coal-workers' pneumoconiosis fund at the time of the request is greater than or
			 equal to 1.5. If such ratio is below 1.5 at the time of the request, the
			 administrator may only the transfer funds to the mining regulation and safety
			 fund after the ratio of assets to liabilities rises above 1.5 and a qualified
			 actuary has determined that this ratio is not likely to fall below 1.5 over an
			 acceptable defined period.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Scope.
The purpose of this chapter of the Administrative Code is to
				provide reasonable safety for life, limb and health of employees.
The specific requirements of this chapter are requirements for
				the protection of employees of an employer who has the possession of an
				elevator through ownership, lease or other property right under which said
				employer has continuous control of and responsibility for the operation of the
				elevator. This chapter does not afford protection requirements for employees of
				elevator manufacturers, installers or inspectors while any such employee is
				working on premises not in the legal possession of such employee's own employer
				or for employees of an employer other than the type described in the preceding
				sentence. The requirements of this chapter apply to all elevators that fall
				within the term "elevator", as that term is defined in division (A) of section
				4105.01 of the Revised
				Code.
Other chapters of the Administrative Code of specific safety
				requirements adopted by the Ohio bureau of workers' compensation may be
				applicable to some or all items related to some types of elevators. To the
				extent that any such other chapter may conflict with the requirements of this
				chapter, this chapter shall prevail. Where conflict does not exist, such other
				chapter shall be deemed to establish specific safety requirements that are
				supplementary to those contained in this chapter. The requirements of this
				chapter apply to elevators, whether installed, rebuilt or changed before or
				after the effective date hereof.

(B) Reserved.
(C)
								
								As required by Chapter 4105. of the Revised Code and
			 the rules promulgated thereunder, no elevator of an employer may be
			 operated without a currently valid certificate of operation, issued by the Ohio
			 department of commerce, divisions of industrial compliance or similar
			 authorization issued by a municipality having jurisdiction to do so. In the
			 absence of a currently valid certificate or authorization, an injury or death
			 of an employee incurred by reason of an elevator of the employer shall be
			 presumed to be due to the violation of this specific safety requirement. Such
			 presumption may be rebutted if the employer shows that the absence of the
			 certificate or authorization was due to factors beyond the control of the
			 employer for one or more of the following reasons:
(1) The inspecting authority, with knowledge
			 of the existence of the elevator, had failed to inspect it, which knowledge may
			 be shown by
(a) Evidence of express notice
			 having been forwarded to the appropriate authority,
(b) Evidence that a certificate or other
			 authorization had been issued in the past for such elevator,
(c) Evidence from the files of the
			 appropriate authority or,
(d) Other
			 competent evidence demonstrating such knowledge by the appropriate authority;
Provided however, that no such authority shall be found to have
				had knowledge of the existence of an elevator after the elevator has once been
				taken out of service, except for maintenance or minor repairs. An elevator
				operated after having been so taken out of service and before it has been
				inspected by the appropriate authority shall be a violation of this specific
				safety requirement and the presumption prescribed above shall apply.
