### sec.369 Managing risk from heat An underground mine’s safety and health management system must provide for ensuring the health of persons in places at the mine in which— the wet bulb temperature exceeds 27ºC; and persons work or travel. In developing the part of the safety and health management system mentioned in subsection (1) (the heat stress management provisions ), the site senior executive for the mine must— have regard to any criteria stated in a recognised standard for managing heat; and comply with section 10 , other than section 10 (1) (a) and (d) (ii) (C) , as if a reference in the section to a standard operating procedure were a reference to the heat stress management provisions. A person must not work in a place at the mine where the effective temperature exceeds 29.4ºC unless the person is— carrying out the work in an escape or emergency; or engaged in work designed to reduce the effective temperature; or a mines rescue member carrying out training or emergency response under procedures developed by an accredited corporation; or wearing self-contained breathing apparatus and undertaking an emergency response under a standard operating procedure for the mine; or an ERZ controller carrying out an inspection— for which a risk assessment has been undertaken to identify the hazards associated with the inspection; and under the controls agreed between the ERZ controller and the mine’s underground mine manager to manage the risk. Subsection (3) (e) does not apply to an inspection included in a schedule of inspections mentioned in section 309 (4) .
