What is one mechanism for achieving the objects of the Act?

• A. Holding only annual safety seminars
• B. Establishing an S&H advisory Committee
• C. Creating a mining product board
• D. Setting export quotas

Answer: (B)

The objects of the Act are pursued through mechanisms that enable structured, ongoing governance and input from those involved in mining work. An S&H advisory Committee fits this role because it provides a formal forum where employers, workers, safety representatives, and professionals can come together to advise on safety and health matters, review policies, discuss risk controls, and promote training and compliance. This setup creates a channel for continuous improvement, coordinated action, and shared responsibility, rather than relying on a single event or external regulation. It helps translate the Act’s goals into practical, day-to-day safety practices at mines by shaping standards, informing regulatory decisions, and guiding how safety programs are implemented.

Holding annual safety seminars, while beneficial as a training activity, does not by itself establish the ongoing governance and collaborative oversight required to systematically achieve the Act’s objectives. Creating a mining product board or setting export quotas addresses product regulation or trade policy, which are outside the safety and health focus of the Act.
