| Abstract |
These Regulations implement in Great Britain the provisions of Directive 92/104/EEC (see CIS 94-758) concerning the minimum requirements for improving safety and health in surface and underground mining. Matters covered: safety instructions and the drawing up of a "health and safety document"; health surveillance; protection against fires, explosions and toxic gases; provision of emergency lighting and personal lamps; operating plans for rockbursts and gas outbursts; handling of flammable materials and hydraulic fluids. The two 1956 Coal and other Mines Rules, concerning working plans and abandonment plans respectively, are revoked. |
