The Mines Regulations 2014
Made
Laid before Parliament
Coming into force
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 15(1), (2), (3)(a), (4)(a), (5), and (8), 18(2)(za) and (a), 80(1) and 82(3)(a) of, and paragraphs 1(1) and (2), 3, 6(1), 8, 9, 10, 11, 13(1) and (3), 14, 16, 18(a), 20, and 21(a) and (b) of Schedule 3 to, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 19741 (“the 1974 Act”).
These Regulations, apart from the modifications referred to in the next paragraph, give effect without modifications to proposals submitted by the Health and Safety Executive under section 11(3) of the 1974 Act2 after carrying out consultation in accordance with section 50(3)3 of that Act.
It appears to the Secretary of State that the following are expedient as set out in section 80(1) of the 1974 Act—
the repeals referred to in Part 2 of Schedule 3;
the partial revocations to the Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 19964 and the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 20085 in Part 2 of Schedule 4; and
the modifications referred to in paragraphs 3, 15 and 17 of Schedule 5.
It also appears to the Secretary of State not to be appropriate to consult bodies in respect of those repeals, revocations and modifications in accordance with section 80(4) of the 1974 Act6.
