The register of hazardous substances must be stored at a location that is easily accessible to all competent mine workers because it is crucial for the health and safety of those working at the mine site. Quick access to this register allows workers to obtain vital information regarding hazardous substances they may encounter. This proactive approach helps in ensuring that workers can adhere to safety protocols and manage any risks associated with hazardous materials effectively.

Storing the register in a central office, a locked safe, or at the entrance may hinder quick access during emergencies or routine work environments, which is why those options do not fulfill the requirement of accessibility that is essential in mining operations where safety is paramount. By ensuring the register is readily available, it supports a culture of safety and compliance with legal health and safety obligations under Queensland mining laws.
