(2) The manager of a mine shall ensure that rock or other material is not dumped from a motor vehicle over a bank or into a bin at the mine unless there is

(b) a person suitably stationed to guide and direct the driver of the motor vehicle to a safe dumping position.
(3) The manager of a mine shall ensure that, at any time that dumping is carried out in the mine,
(a) marker guides or other effective signs are placed to indicate to the driver of the motor vehicle the limit of safe approach to the tipping area;
(b) the dumping site and the areas adjacent to that site are illuminated by stationary lights so placed as to give effective illumination to the working area and to the edge of the dump area.
(4) The manager of a mine shall ensure that a system is established in the mine that ensures the stability of a dumping site if rock or other material is to be dumped from a motor vehicle over a bank or bench.
