To whom must notification of proposed interference be given?

• A. The mine's general manager.
• B. A person appointed under section 60(8) or (9) of the Act for the affected part.
• C. The safety officer.
• D. The ERZ controller for the place.

Answer: (B)

When you plan to interfere with a part of the mine’s ventilation, the notice must go to the person appointed under section 60(8) or (9) of the Act for the affected part. That appointment creates a designated individual responsible for that section’s ventilation and safety controls, so they can promptly assess the proposed interference, consider its impact on airflows and gas levels, and coordinate any necessary precautions. Other roles like the general manager, safety officer, or the ERZ controller don’t hold that specific on-part appointment to receive and act on these notices, so they aren’t the required recipient under this provision.
