    Historique

    Known as the Mines Engineering Branch following its transfer from the Ministry of Natural Resources in October of 1976, the Mining Health and Safety Branch fell under the jurisdiction of the Occupational Health and Safety Division until 1991.

    In 1991 that Division reverted to a branch level (Occupational Health and Safety Branch) and the Mining Health and Safety Branch became the Mining Health and Safety Program within that Branch.

    Fonctions et activités

    The Mining Health and Safety Branch was responsible for adminstering the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Regulations for Mines and Mining Plants.

    Branch personnel performed periodic inspections of mines, quarries, open pits, metallurgical operations, sand, clay, shale and gravel pits, aggregate plant, peat working and diamond drilling operations to control health and safety hazards.

    The Branch also carried out air sample testing to ensure a safe working environment, and investigated deaths, serious accidents and refusals to perform unsafe work. It consulted with organized labour and management to increase their involvement in identifying and eliminating occupational health and safety hazards. Construction plans were also reviewed by the Branch for occupational health and safety.
