The union representing mine workers has accused mining firm OceanaGold of hypocrisy over safety.
OceanaGold told a select committee on Thursday legislation to improve mine safety in the wake of the Pike River disaster should not apply to mines that are above ground and are not coal mines.
Alan Clarence of the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union says Oceana Gold told the committee it was squeaky clean, while knowing its Reefton mine has a prohibition notice in place.
He says waste-tipping trucks were at serious risk of falling down a 50-metre cliff.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has confirmed the prohibition notice but declined to give details.
