### sec.30 How is an acceptable level of risk achieved
To achieve an acceptable level of risk, this Act requires that management and operating systems must be put in place for each coal mine.
This Act provides that the systems must incorporate risk management elements and practices appropriate for each coal mine to—
identify, analyse, and assess risk; and
avoid or remove unacceptable risk; and
monitor levels of risk and the adverse consequences of retained residual risk; and
provide for critical controls; and
investigate and analyse the causes of serious accidents and high potential incidents with a view to preventing their recurrence; and
review the effectiveness of risk control measures, and take appropriate corrective and preventive action; and
mitigate the potential adverse effects arising from residual risk.
Also, the way an acceptable level of risk of injury or illness may be achieved may be prescribed under a regulation.
