Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia
The Mines Act and the accompanying Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia (the Code) protect workers and the public through provisions for minimizing the health, safety and environmental risks related to mining activities.
The Code is reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Code Review Committee, which is made up of labour, industry, First Nations and government representatives. The Chief Inspector of Mines chairs this committee, which ensures that the Code remains current as new technologies, mining practices and health and safety concerns emerge.
The current edition of the Code was last updated June 2017.
