Regulation, SIs
These Regulations set out requirements with respect to safety, health and welfare in quarries, as defined in Regulation 3, and replace a range of provisions formerly applied in the Mines and Quarries Act, 1965 and in various Regulations made under that Act.
The Regulations also retranspose, in relation to quarries, the relevant provisions of Council Directive 92/104/EEC of 3 December 1992 on the minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers in surface and underground mineral extracting industries (OJ L404, 31.12.1992, p. 10).
