satisfied that the respondent—

during the time the order is proposed to operate if the order
is not made; or
(b) for a workplace protection order—
(i) has used personal violence in relation to a workplace; and
(ii) may engage in personal violence in relation to a workplace
during the time the order is proposed to operate if the order
is not made.

whether to make the final order.
