(1) This section applies if the regulator reasonably believes that—
(a) circumstances in which a prohibition notice or prohibited
asbestos notice can be issued exist; and
(b) a prohibition notice or prohibited asbestos notice cannot be
issued because, after taking reasonable steps—
(i) in relation to a prohibition notice—the person with
management or control of the workplace cannot be found;
or
(ii) in relation to a prohibited asbestos notice—a relevant
person in relation to the workplace cannot be found.
