As part of its attempt to reduce injuries and fatalities in mines, the Central Government is working a plan to amend the Coal Mines Regulation, Metalliferous Mines Regulations, Oil Mines Regulations and the Mines Act.
These are different stages of execution, Rahul Guha, Director General, Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS), said at an event organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
According to a release issued the industry body, the DGMS is also working on a modern safety training module. This is going to be path-breaking for scores of mine workers who are exposed to fatal injuries, the DG further added.
According to him, as part of the exercise, DGMS is also trying to amend vocational training rules with a focus on “identification of hazards and communicating” in the quickest possible time.
