COAL MINES (OPEN CUT) REGULATION 1999 - REG 5

5 Duty of mine manager to comply or ensure compliance with Regulation

If a provision of this Regulation imposes a requirement in relation to a mine but does not impose that requirement on persons generally or on a particular person, it is the duty of the mine manager:

(a) to comply with the provision, or

(b) if it is not reasonably practicable for the manager to comply with the provision, to ensure that it is complied with.

Note: The general functions of mine managers are set out in section 37 of the Act. They include the control of mine employees and the enforcement of the observance, by those employees, of the Act and the regulations and of any related rules or schemes. Section 160 (d) of the Act provides, among other things, that a mine employee who contravenes any direction given by the mine manager for the purpose of securing compliance with the Act, the regulations, the rules or a scheme is guilty of an offence.
