427 Emergency exit
The operator of a prescribed mine into which a shaft has been sunk or a decline or adit has been driven must, so far as is reasonably practicable—
(a) provide for a means of exiting the mine workings in addition to the hoisting shaft or the exit normally used; and
(b) ensure that the additional exit is—
(i) maintained so that it remains a functional exit; and
(ii) marked or signposted so that it can be readily located in the event of an incident.
