The site senior executive for a mine must ensure risk in the mine’s work and local environments caused by the mine’s operations is monitored— when the operations start; and at appropriate intervals or stages during operations at the mine; and when the mine’s risk management practices or procedures change significantly. Monitoring must include the following things— the occurrence of incidents, injuries and ill health; the level of hazards present in the mine’s work environment; for monitoring under subsection (2) —the level of hazards from the mine’s operations present in the mine’s local environment.
