Victoria Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 r406: r 406 Review mining hazard identification, risk assessment and controls

To ensure compliance with r 405(1), every mine operator must review, and revise where needed, the identification of mining hazards, the assessment of their risks and the controls implemented. Reviews are required at least once every 3 years and also: before any mine modification; after any mining hazard incident; if the operator has removed a person from their work or moved them to other work in the circumstances in r 413; and on request by a health and safety representative. A representative may ask if they reasonably believe one of the first three triggers applies, or that the operator failed to review controls properly or to consider those triggers.
