### sec.34 Records
A coal mine’s electrical engineering manager or, if there is no electrical engineering manager for the mine, the site senior executive for the mine, must ensure a record of the following matters about the mine’s electrical activities, equipment and installations is kept at the mine—
for each electrical installation—
its electrical protection settings, fault levels, and cable and conductor sizes and switchgear ratings, including circuit interrupting capacity; and
its commissioning dates and results; and
its monitoring and test dates and results;
for each item of electrical equipment—
its commissioning dates and results; and
its monitoring and test dates and results;
for each item of electrical safety equipment used—
its description; and
its test dates and results;
the name of each person appointed—
to control and manage the mine’s electrical engineering activities; or
to carry out electrical work and electrical activities;
the name of each person authorised to enter an electrical operating area;
the activity each person mentioned in paragraph (e) is authorised to carry out in the operating area.
In this section—
electrical operating area means an area or enclosure in which electrical equipment or an electrical installation is housed.
electrical safety equipment includes an instrument for testing electrical equipment, a ladder, a safety harness, an insulating tool and insulating gloves.
