sec.318Standard operating procedure

### sec.318 Standard operating procedure An underground mine must have a standard operating procedure for carrying out second workings. The procedure must be based on the results of the risk assessment mentioned in section 317 . The mine must have a separate procedure for each panel in the mine. However, if the hazards in each panel in a group of panels are the same, the mine may have a standard operating procedure for the group. The procedure must provide for establishing— methods for the following— coal extraction; strata control and support; ventilation; controlling spontaneous combustion; monitoring and recording extraction progress; and the coal extraction sequence.
