### sec.167 Responsibility of persons using cap lamps
While a cap lamp issued for an underground mine is in the possession or control of the person to whom the cap lamp has been issued, the person must ensure its safe keeping and, as far as practicable, that the cap lamp is not damaged.
A person to whom a cap lamp has been issued for an underground mine must return the lamp to its allotted position at the battery charging station at the mine—
at the end of the person’s shift or any extension of the shift for which the lamp was issued; or
if the person no longer needs the cap lamp during the person’s shift or any extension of the shift—as soon as possible after the person no longer needs the cap lamp.
