It contains provisions for measures relating to the health, safety and welfare of
workers in the coal, metalliferous and oil mines.
The Mines Act, 1952, prescribed duties of the owner (defined as the proprietor,
lessee or an agent) to manage mines and mining operation and the health and
safety in mines. It also prescribes the number of working hours in mines, the
minimum wage rates, and other related matters.
Courts of Inquiry are set up by the Central Government to investigate into the
accidents, which result in the death of 10 or above miners. Both penal and
pecuniary punishments are prescribed for contravention of obligation and
duties under the Act.
