### sec.62 Safety and health management system The safety and health management system, for a coal mine, is a single system that incorporates risk management elements and practices that ensure the safety and health of persons who may be affected by coal mining operations. The safety and health management system must be a single, auditable documented system that— forms part of an overall management system; and includes organisational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures and resources for developing, implementing, maintaining and reviewing a safety and health policy. The safety and health management system must provide a single, comprehensive and integrated system for the management of all aspects of risks to safety and health in relation to the operation of the coal mine including any remote operating centre for the mine, or the remote operation of plant or equipment for the mine. The safety and health management system for a coal mine must be in place before coal mining operations start at the mine. The safety and health management system must be adequate and effective to achieve an acceptable level of risk by— defining the coal mine operator’s safety and health policy; and containing a plan to implement the coal mine operator’s safety and health policy; and stating how the coal mine operator intends to develop the capabilities and support mechanisms necessary to achieve the policy; and including principal hazard management plans and standard operating procedures; and identifying critical controls; and containing a way of— measuring, monitoring and evaluating the performance of the safety and health management system; and taking the action necessary to prevent or correct matters that do not conform with the safety and health management system; and containing a plan to regularly review and continually improve the safety and health management system so that risk to persons at the coal mine is at an acceptable level; and if there is a significant change to the coal mining operations of the coal mine—containing a plan to immediately review the safety and health management system so that risk to persons is at an acceptable level. The site senior executive must make available for inspection, by coal mine workers employed at the coal mine and ROC workers employed for the coal mine, a copy of the safety and health management system. Maximum penalty—100 penalty units. The site senior executive must give a copy of a principal hazard management plan to each of the following persons if the person requests a copy of the plan— a coal mine worker whose work at the coal mine is affected by the requirements of the plan; an operational ROC worker for the coal mine whose work for the mine is affected by the requirements of the plan. Maximum penalty—100 penalty units. s 62 amd 2018 No. 28 s 18 ; 2024 No. 34 s 33 (sec.62-ssec.1) The safety and health management system, for a coal mine, is a single system that incorporates risk management elements and practices that ensure the safety and health of persons who may be affected by coal mining operations.
