Key changes to the Health and Safety Regulations for tunnelling operations
The Health and Safety at Work (Mining Operations and Quarrying Operations) Regulations 2016 (the Regulations) are changing to clarify parts of the Regulations for mining and tunnelling operations, and make the Regulations proportionate with the type and size of operation.
There are also changes to make quarries and alluvial mines safer by adding health and safety requirements that align with mining and tunnelling operations.
