what is Standard 22?
Recognised Standard 22
Recognised Standard 22 states a way for a Site Senior Executive (SSE) to develop and maintain a management structure in accordance with the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999 (CMSHA) to ensure the risk from coal mining operations is at an acceptable level.
SSEs are required to develop a Management Structure for the development and implementation of the Safety and Health Management System [SHMS] for their mine.
SSEs have the obligation to determine the competency requirements of positions delegated responsibility under the SHMS and to document those competencies in their Management Structure to ensure operations are at an acceptable level of risk. The competency requirements must be relevant to the risks at the mine and ensure the development and implementation of the mine’s SHMS.
Recognised Standard 22 applies to all Coal Mines as defined under the CMSHA and relates to the requirements of sections 7, 41, 42, 55, 60 and 66 of the CMSHA.
