### sec.169 Directive may be given orally or by notice A directive under subdivision 3 or 4 may be given to a person orally or by notice. However, if a directive is given to a person orally, the directive must be confirmed by notice given to the person as soon as reasonably practicable after the directive is given. A copy of a notice given under subsection (1) or (2) must be given to— the site senior executive for the coal mine, or part of the coal mine, to which the directive relates; and the person in control of the coal mine, or part of the coal mine, to which the directive relates. Failure to comply with subsection (2) or (3) does not affect the validity of the directive.
