Handling Mine Inspections and Section 54 Instructions

Inspections and instructions are the point where the law meets the working face. A well-handled visit builds trust with the Inspectorate. A badly handled one can cost a mine days of production, a fine or a criminal charge. This course gives you a practical, legally accurate method for every stage, from the gate to the Labour Court, with each legal point cross-referenced to the Act and section.
