• (a) exposure to a hazard at the mine may cause, or result in, an adverse health effect; and
• (b) the health effect may happen under the worker’s work conditions; and
• (c) either— (i) a valid technique capable of detecting signs of the health effect exists; or (ii) a valid biological monitoring procedure is available to detect changes from the current accepted values for the hazard.
