The Mines Regulations 2014 establish comprehensive legal requirements for safety and health within mining operations in Great Britain. These regulations, enacted under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, detail specific provisions for the management of mines, including requirements for risk assessment, emergency procedures, and the health of mine workers. They aim to prevent accidents and occupational diseases by setting clear standards for all aspects of mining activity.

As a statutory instrument, The Mines Regulations 2014 are primarily regarded for their legal authority and their role in ensuring workplace safety. Their impact is measured by their effectiveness in reducing mining accidents and improving occupational health outcomes. The regulations provide a clear framework for compliance by mine operators and a basis for enforcement by regulatory bodies.
