Özet:

The exploitation and production of minerals and their subsequent utilisation in the economy are very important for the development of countries. Preparatory works for mine production and activities carried out for mine production are defined as operation activities in terms of mining legislation. A permanent supervisor must be appointed in order to carry out mining operations. In mining legislation, a permanent supervisor is defined as a mining engineer who is permanently employed in the mining operation. The primary condition for a mining engineer to be appointed as a permanent supervisor is to have a permanent supervisor certificate. Mining engineers who will receive this certificate for the first time (who have no vested rights) must attend the trainings and be successful in the exam to be held. Permanent supervisor trainings are organised by the General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum Affairs (MAPEG). The conditions required for permanent supervisor appointments, other than the certificate, are regulated in detail in the Mining Regulation. The appointment of a permanent supervisor is one of the prerequisites for the evaluation of the requests made to MAPEG as well as being mandatory for the operation activities. In this study, the duties, authorities and responsibilities of the permanent supervisor arising from the mining legislation and the training process are analysed and its importance for the mining sector is mentioned.
