The potentially hazardous nature of mining operations, and their often remote locations, mean that being prepared for an emergency situation is critical to the safety and health of personnel. For the purposes of this code of practice, the term emergency means a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation, and encompasses an emergency as defined in section 3 of the Emergency Management Act 2005.
