Mines and Quarries Act, 1965

Safety measures relating to vehicles running on rails.

93.—(1) So long as vehicles running on rails are used at a quarry, there shall be provided, maintained and used, either at the quarry or on the vehicles or both at the quarry and on the vehicles, such safety devices as are necessary to prevent the occurrence of accidents to persons by any such vehicles' running away; and every device shall be of a kind designed to assume automatically the position in which it operates for the purpose for which it is designed, save in a case where there is good reason for not providing a device of that kind.

(2) All necessary precautions shall be taken to protect from injury, in the event of any such vehicle running away, any person who, otherwise than as a matter of routine, is at work at a place in a quarry through which any such vehicle runs.
