MINES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 99

Power to extend to other dangerous occurrences provisions as to notification of accidents.

99.(1) If the Ministry is of opinion that any special class of occurrences at
mines is of so dangerous a nature as to render it expedient that notice should
be given under section 98 in every case thereof, it may by order extend the
provisions of that section to occurrences of that class, whether death or
serious bodily injury is thereby caused or not.

(2) In any proceedings taken under this Act in respect of a failure to give
notice of an occurrence of any kind at a mine, being proceedings which could
not be taken apart from an order under this section, it shall be a defence for
the person charged to prove that he was not aware of the occurrence and that
he had taken all reasonable steps for having occurrences of that kind brought
to his notice.

Ss.100, 101 rep. by SR 1980/333
