Summary
Addressed to owners, agents and managers of all mines. Citing a rising trend of electrical accidents — seven lives lost and four serious injuries in 2025 alone — DGMS requires the system capacitive current to be taken into account in restricted-neutral power-supply systems, and calls for a review of electrical safety management alongside strict compliance with Regulation 103(1) of the CEA (Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2023.
