EXPLANATORY NOTE
These regulations made under the Mines and Quarries Acts 1954 and 1969 set out general requirements (regulations 4–8) notably in relation to responsibility for the drainage, supervision, maintenance and inspection of all existing and new tips to which Part I of the Mines and Quarries (Tips) Act 1969 applies. They revoke (regulation 29) the Mines and Quarries (Notification of Tipping Operations) Regulations 1969 and incorporate their substance (regulation 7). More detailed provisions applicable to “classified tips”, i.e. tips which because of their size or location are more likely to present a potential hazard, are set out in regulations 9–26. “Classified tips”
Regulation 27 deals with the conduct of employees.
Regulation 28 defines the extent to which existing regulations, made under the Mines and Quarries Act 1954, are applicable to matters covered by Part I of the Mines and Quarries (Tips) Act 1969.
