Statutory certificates
Statutory positions are appointed by the mine operator to carry out specific functions in relation to the operations of a mine. They are classified in several categories, with different functions and obligations, and levels of knowledge, experience and formal qualifications for the appointed persons, with some positions requiring statutory certificates. Following an assessment by the relevant competence committee that an applicant is suitable to hold a certificate, a statutory certificate may be granted by the regulator.
