Approved Code aligned to the Regulations – cited within – as applicable to mines. In documenting standard first-aid provisions, it also examines the critical safety ratio of 25:1 concerning the number of mine employees to first-aiders. Accordingly, it lists distinct provisions for mines operating with more than 25 workers at one time and measures for when 24 or less are simultaneously active.
Pointedly, regarding underground cover, it emphasises how no shift should exceed this 25:1 limit. Also documents the gamut of wider measures pertinent to mines, from the basic need for potable water to ensuring sufficient quantities of sterile eye-irrigative fluid. Styled presentation (eg bold, italics, margin-coding) enables easy distinction between texts pertaining to the Regulations and the Approved Code.
