Pl refer circular 13 of 2002 on Safety management system
Partly reproduced below
Unlike the major industries, mining has high potential risk of
accidents. It has a dubious distinction of involving a very high actual hazard as the
environment changes continually with the progress of work. It is, therefore, not
possible for any external agency to ensure safety of any mine. The principal
responsibility for the safety and good health of workers employed in mines rests with
the management of that mine.
The present day environment demands to have a fresh look at Safety Management
as a structured process composed of well defined systems that emphasises
continuous improvement in work quality, health, welfare and productivity of workforce
engaged in mineral industry through setting up of improved safety standards and
their effective implementation and administration. Because the statutory provisions
can never be fully comprehensive, appropriate and site specific and because the
process of Legislation Making is often slow, these often trail behind the technological
innovations. Trend, world over is, therefore, to make the statutory provisions
'Flexible' by switching over from the regime of 'Prescriptive Regulation' to 'Self
Regulatory or Goal Setting Legislation'. It is now widely accepted world over that the
concept of "Risk management" through "Risk assessment" contributes greatly towards achieving these objectives. Considering the accident scenario in Indian
Mining Industry, it has now become essential that risk assessment be undertaken of
all hazardous operations, equipment and machinery, taking account of the
procedures used, maintenance, supervision and management
