ABSTRACT

Historically, regulations for particular situations have imposed personal duties on employees. An example is the Quarries (Explosives) Regulations 1959, of which regulation 27(4) was under consideration in the compensation claim of Mr Shatwell in ICI v Shatwell (1965)31 which was considered in Part I of this book. This regulation stipulates that:

No shot-firer shall fire any round of shots connected in series at a quarry by means of electric shot firing apparatus unless he has tested the circuit for continuity by means of a suitable testing device and has found it to be satisfactory. A shot-firer shall not make any such tests unless all persons in the vicinity have withdrawn to a place of safety and he himself has taken proper shelter.
