### sec.295 Preventing inrushes through boreholes The site senior executive for an underground mine must ensure each borehole to, through or from a coal seam at the mine is sealed off in a way that prevents an inrush happening through the borehole if— the borehole is drilled after 16 March 2001; and the inrush could happen if— the surface around the borehole collar flooded; or the borehole intersected an inrush source. The site senior executive must also ensure precautions to prevent an inrush through a borehole at the mine are taken in mine workings approaching the borehole if— it is suspected that the borehole exists and is one through which an inrush may happen; and the borehole can not be accurately located by survey or any other way.
