• To make such financial and other provisions – for example providing appropriate tools, equipment and materials as may be necessary to ensure that the mine is managed and worked in good conditions of occupational safety and health;
• To ensure that mines’ machinery, equipment, substances, processes and systems of work are reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health;
• Not to interfere with the technical management of a mine unless he is a competent person and unless appointed to a position superior to the manager;
• to provide the necessary facilities to enable the workers’ representatives to carry out their inspections and investigations and other functions prescribed by legislation and regulations; and
• where mining is carried out in areas of the world prone to natural disasters, to make provision in the design and operation of the mine to minimise the risks inherent in these areas.
• In the appointment of officials, the following provisions should be observed:
• The mine operator should appoint a mine manager to be responsible for ensuring that the operation, technical direction and daily personal supervision of the mine complies with national legislation.
• The mine operator should appoint a sufficient number of assistant managers as may be appropriate to secure compliance with national laws or regulations
• Operators of mines utilising power plant and other electrical machinery should appoint a competent person to have charge of the plant and machinery.
• The mine operator should notify the competent authority of every appointment made in the technical management of the mine.
• No person should be appointed to or take part in the technical management of a mine unless he is qualified to do so in accordance with national laws or regulations.

EMIL follows global safety standards and protocols in the following areas to ensure the wellbeing of its entire workforce.

1. Falls are a leading cause of injury and death, presenting a serious risk to all those working in the manufacturing sector. Employers must take steps to implement comprehensive fall protection measures at their companies.
2. Machine guarding is essential to keep workers safe as many workers operate heavy machinery every day on the job. Proper guarding can prevent accidents, injuries and deaths.
3. Powered Industrial Trucks should be operated only after proper training. Improper use can cause serious injuries and deaths. Today, it is among the top 3 hazards in manufacturing.
4. Electrical hazards are a serious concern at manufacturing sites and can be life threatening. Improperly installed equipment, exposed wires and unlocked electrical panels are some examples.
5. Lockout/Tag Out is critical at workplaces as many energy sources can be hazardous to manufacturing workers, such as electrical, mechanical or chemical machines and equipment. While workers are servicing or maintaining these pieces of heavy machinery, the unexpected release of energy or startup of the equipment could cause a serious injury or death. This is why proper lockout/tag out procedures must be followed to safeguard workers.
