The Mining Code in Jordan is short, simple and sweet, quaintly obligating employers to provide "a restaurant in which workers have their main meals," wisely prohibiting "smoking...inside the walled area of the explosives store" and, rather archaically, prohibiting females from being "at all employed in mining activities". For the most part, it provides an "Anglo-Saxon" rudimentary regime within which to operate and avoids most of the problematic elements of those modern "cleverly-drafted" codes that give far too much though to all the benefits that a State might seek from the sector.
