Definition(s)

  • Mining regulations and legislation have increased and changed since the early days of the industry. In Great Britain, laws regulating the ownership and operation of mines proliferated in the 19th century, and the Metalliferous Mines Regulation Act of 1872 directed the inspection, working conditions, and regulation of coal mines as well as mines of stratified ironstone, shale, and fireclay.
