Summary
The Coal Mining Occupational Health and Safety Regulations of Canada, enacted in 2009, outlines the obligations of businesses involved in coal mining. The regulations require employers to identify and assess potential health and safety hazards, develop a written health and safety program, provide training to workers, establish emergency response procedures, and maintain accurate records. The regulations also establish requirements for ventilation, fire prevention, and personal protective equipment. Additionally, employers must ensure that all equipment and machinery used in the mining process is safe and maintained properly, and they must provide regular health and safety inspections of the workplace.
