Does the Act require that miners evacuating a mine due to a ventilation interruption reach the surface before the mine is examined and power restored?
No, after normal ventilation is restored, the examination of the mine can be done and power restored after the examination is completed and it has been determined safe to restore power. The Act does not state that the miners must be out of the mine before the examination is conducted and power restored.
