MINES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 61

61.(1) It shall be the duty of the manager of every mine

(a)to secure the provision of

(i)suitable and sufficient lighting (whether natural or artificial) in every
part of the mine above ground in or through which persons work or pass
(account being taken, where lamps are normally carried by persons who work in
or pass through any such part, of the amount of light emitted by those lamps);

(ii)suitable and sufficient artificial lighting in every part of the mine
below ground in or through which persons work or pass, other than a part in
which the installation of artificial lighting is inadvisable for reasons of
safety or is unnecessary because of the amount of light emitted by lamps
normally carried by persons who work in or pass through it or for any other
reason;

(b)to secure that all apparatus installed at the mine for producing artificial
lighting thereat is properly maintained.

(2) Provision may be made by regulations for requiring the provision and
maintenance, at such places at a mine as may be prescribed, of such lights as
may be prescribed; but nothing in regulations having effect by virtue of this
subsection shall be construed as being in derogation of the general obligation
imposed by subsection (1).
