Mines can be hazardous environments and the possibility of fire, flood, explosion and collapse has the potential to simultaneously affect a large number of people. Continued work between HSE and Stakeholders is aimed at controlling these risks.
In order to perform certain functions within a coal, shale or fireclay mine, you must possess a certificate from the Health and Safety Executive. This section details how to apply for the appropriate certificates.
Within the Policy Group of the Health and Safety Executive the Mines, Quarries and Explosives Policy Section oversees and administers legislation relating to the mining industry.
