On 13 April 2023, the Mine Health and Safety Council (Council) circulated draft amendments, for comment, to regulation Chapter 16 of the regulations to the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA) which if published in their current form are likely to have significant implications for mine owners. The draft regulations address missing person locator systems, emergency preparedness and response, first aid, and rescue procedures. The draft regulations both propose amendments to existing obligations and propose some entirely new obligations to be discharged by employers. The proposed amendments, in their current form, contain several provisions which will require mines to adopt new systems and technology.
