Employees with at least ten years experience in safety work or mining operation may be deputized by the employer as safety man, with the designation of a ______________ which shall be reported to the Regional Office.

• A. Safety Officer
• B. Deputy Safety Inspector
• C. Safety Manager
• D. Safety Coordinator

Answer: (B)

The question tests the formal deputation mechanism and the specific designation used when an experienced employee is given regulatory authority to inspect and enforce safety at a mine. When an employee with substantial safety or mining experience is deputized, the title assigned is Deputy Safety Inspector. This designation signals a delegated, regulatory role and carries the requirement to report to the Regional Office, reflecting the official channel through which safety inspections and compliance are overseen.

Other internal titles like Safety Officer, Safety Manager, or Safety Coordinator describe organizational roles but do not inherently convey a regulatory deputation or the obligation to report to the Regional Office. The Deputy Safety Inspector designation specifically aligns with the formal authority and reporting structure mandated by the regulatory framework.
