How can the Department change the reporting requirements for accidents, tonnage, etc?
Section 702 provides provision which generally allow the Department to waive or modify statutory requirements. Section 702 states nothing in this Act shall be construed to prevent the adoption or use by any operator of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, devices, methods or processes if they accord protection to personnel and property substantially equal to the requirements set forth in the Act. The new method and process of reporting information to the Department is covered in Section 702.
