What must the Site Senior Executive (SSE) of a coal mine do with reports and directives?

The Site Senior Executive (SSE) of a coal mine is responsible for ensuring that all reports and directives are adequately communicated and accessible to relevant workers on site. Displaying copies of these documents at conspicuous positions serves several important purposes: it promotes transparency, enhances safety awareness, and ensures compliance with regulations governing workplace safety and operational procedures.

By making reports and directives visible to all employees, the SSE fosters a culture of safety and accountability. Workers can easily access vital information related to safety practices, operational updates, and any pertinent directives that affect their daily tasks. This visibility contributes to a safer working environment, as employees are more informed and can take necessary precautions based on the information provided.

The other options are not effective in fulfilling the SSE’s obligations. Filing reports in a private office would hinder access for workers who need to be aware of this information. Sharing directives only with upper management would create a disconnect between management and site workers, undermining effective communication and safety practices. Sending reports to the local community may not be a requirement or practical, as it could compromise confidentiality and may not align with the operational needs of the mine. Therefore, ensuring that reports and directives are displayed at conspicuous positions is the most effective course of action for the SSE.
