The Coal Mines (Control of Inhalable Dust) Regulations 2007
- These Regulations revoke and replace the Coal Mines (Respirable Dust) Regulations 1975. The Regulations impose duties on mine owners, mine managers, employers, and employees to protect persons at work in coal mines from risks to their health arising from exposure to inhalable dust of mineral origin. They implement as respects Great Britain those provisions of Council Directive 98/24/EC on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work which are applicable to risk from this source.
