This guideline provides more detail about the control measures that can be taken to eliminate or mitigate hazards associated with unplanned ground movement.
You should use this guideline if you have control of a mine (e.g. employer, Registered Manager, Quarry Manager, Underground Mine Manager), or have operational functions and responsibilities for ground control. You should also use this guideline if you design, manufacture or supply plant that can influence ground stability or be influenced by ground movement.
The Ground control for Western Australian mining operations: Code of practice is designed to outline the regulatory expectations for minimising workforce exposure to hazardous ground movements.
