Amendments to Regulation 854 for Mines and Mining Plants made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which came into effect on January 1, 2012, included changes to the medical certificate prescribed under section 195 of the regulation. Under these provisions, operators of cranes are required to undergo a yearly medical examination by a physician. The certificate, which is completed by the physician, provides a convenient way for stakeholders to comply with these requirements. The certificate will take less than five minutes to complete.
This form is used by the operator of a surface magazine or a mine using explosives to notify the Ministry of Labour and the joint health and safety committee or health and safety representative, if any, before first use of a surface magazine or explosives and annually after first use.
