### sec.33 Plan of coal mine’s communication system and main electrical installation
The site senior executive for a coal mine must ensure the mine has a plan of the mine’s main electrical installation showing the following—
the location of each main electricity reticulation line;
the location, rating, identifying label and purpose of each main isolator, substation and high voltage switchboard;
any information required to perform switching programs;
for a surface mine—the general location of each item of high voltage mobile plant supplied with electricity by a trailing cable.
The site senior executive for an underground mine must also ensure the mine has a plan of its communication system showing the location of each fixed communication device at the mine.
For an underground mine, the scale of each plan under this section must be 1:5000.
A plan under this section must be updated as soon as practicable, but not later than 8 days after—
for a plan of the communication system—the installation or removal of a communication device; or
for a plan of the main electrical installation—the relocation, removal or installation of a thing mentioned in subsection (1) (a) , (b) or (d) .
The site senior executive for a coal mine must ensure each plan is kept in a location at the mine that is easily accessible by each coal mine worker authorised by an electrical supervisor or the mine’s electrical engineering manager to access the plan.
