LABOUR AND SAFETY IN MINES
LABOUR AND SAFETY IN MINES
The Mines Act, 1952 seeks to
regulate the working conditions in mines by providing measures to be taken for
the safety of the workers employed therein. To ensure the implementation of the
Mines Act, 1952, the Union Legislature has framed the Mines rules, 1955,
Metalliferous Mines Regulations, 1961, and the Maternity Benefit (Mines) Rules,
1963, etc.
The Mines Act, 1952, prescribed
duties of the owner (defined as the proprietor, lessee or an agent) to manage
mines and mining operation and the health and safety in mines. It also
prescribes the number of working hours in mines, the minimum wage rates, and
other related matters. The Mines Rules, 1955, provide the procedural aspects.
Both penal and pecuniary
punishments are prescribed for contravention of obligation and duties under the
Act.
The Metalliferous Mine
Regulation, 1961 provides for the certification of the competency and fitness
for the managers of mines, mine engineers, supervisory staff, foreman, and
surveyors. The regulation also prescribes the types of mining plans, the types
of survey and mining instruments to be used, the equipment used for access and
egress of workers to the mines, transportation of men, minerals, and other
related matters.
